ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Richardson, TX

I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, growth and healing are possible.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, career changes, burnout, and other significant life transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet clients where they are and help them achieve meaningful progress.

With experience as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and educational leader, I understand the unique pressures many adults face while balancing work, family, relationships, and personal growth.

My hope is that every client leaves therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

"Together, we'll create a path forward—one step at a time."

I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development, specializing in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling, I offer a culturally responsive, integrative, and systems-oriented approach to therapy and coaching. I work with teens 12+, adults, couples, and families who are ready to better understand what is happening in their lives and relationships—and begin creating meaningful change. Together, we explore the patterns influencing emotional well-being, communication, relationships, and personal growth while developing practical strategies that fit your unique needs.

I also support clients navigating sexual concerns, including sexual dysfunction, intimacy, and sexual well-being and pleasure, as well as the psychological and relational aspects of fertility challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, gain clarity about what may be keeping you stuck, and become more confident in moving forward. Through our work together, we can turn challenges into opportunities for growth, strengthen relationships and family systems, and build practical skills that you can continue using beyond the therapy room.

I am here to help you meet your personal goals regarding your mental health.

Every person who reaches out to me is carrying something real, and I want you to feel heard from our first conversation. My path into psychiatric care grew from years working with people through hard moments, and it taught me how much a steady, caring provider can change things. I work with clients managing anxiety, depression, and PTSD, bringing a warm, direct style because honesty and comfort can exist together. I ask a lot of questions, not to interrogate you, but to understand your full picture. I am an APRN, ANCC board certified, seeing clients by telehealth. My goal is practical care and a steady presence as you feel better.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism-related challenges, parenting concerns, or a major life transition. Whatever brings you to therapy, I want to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a master’s degree from Lamar University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University. My journey to becoming a therapist began in education, where I worked as both a teacher and school counselor in the Dallas area. Supporting children, adolescents, and families during those years showed me the importance of feeling understood and supported, and those experiences continue to shape the way I practice today.

I work with children, teens, adults, and parents across Texas through virtual therapy. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and neurodivergent-affirming, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.

In addition to therapy, I have experience conducting diagnostic evaluations for ADHD, autism, and a range of mental health concerns, as well as immigration evaluations. This work has deepened my appreciation for the unique ways each person experiences the world and reinforced the importance of understanding the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis.

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.
