As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe meaningful change begins with transforming the way we think and behave. When we shift our internal patterns, we create space for healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s challenges. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to build new skills that help you navigate the present with clarity and approach the future with confidence.
I specialize in individual counseling for adults and adolescents, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, emotional trauma, and adolescent development.
My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self‐awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change.
In life we are faced with many challenges that sometimes become discouraging. I have worked with many individuals, couples, and families on an array of emotional and behavioral issues. I have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as trained in many other therapy approaches. Feel free to contact me if you would like to get working on your life challenges
Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

Thank you for stopping by! I am excited to get to know you and begin this beautiful journey of growth. Whether you are starting a new journey or you’re looking to pick up where you left off, I’m glad you stopped by!
It is my passion to work with people, as they challenge themselves to grow and evolve. Many of us experience challenging feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and stress of dealing with the many transitions of life. At times, these challenging feelings can make us feel alone or isolated from our communities of love and support. I believe that I am here to walk alongside you and provide insight and support as you begin to see yourself grow and reach the goals that you set for yourself. I primarily work from a narrative perspective, but I pull from many different approaches to create a safe and efficient environment for my clients to explore and reflect on themselves and their situations.
A Collaborative Partnership for Meaningful Growth
Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that the most impactful work happens through a dedicated, active collaboration. I am driven by those pivotal moments in therapy when clarity is reached and a path forward emerges. With nearly a decade of experience, I provide a focused space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions who are ready to move beyond "just getting by."
My practice is designed for those seeking to reclaim their authentic voice through a committed therapeutic process. I work best with clients who view therapy as an active partnership and are ready to do work between sessions. Together, we will focus on the insights and practical tools necessary for your personal evolution.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Richardson, TX
Searching for therapists in Richardson starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Reading bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that align with your preferences.
Richardson is close to Plano, Garland, and north Dallas, which can expand your options while local availability may still vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the details in each profile. Bios can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Richardson can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review availability, enter your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
