Services

About My Clients

I offer personalized counseling for adults seeking a compassionate, collaborative space to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, or simply feeling stuck, our work together will be tailored to your needs, values, and goals. I believe therapy is a co-creative process—one that honors your lived experience while gently inviting new insight, regulation, and possibility. My therapeutic style is grounded yet flexible.

My Background and Approach

Before establishing my practice in Plano, Texas, I spent over two decades immersed in social services, walking alongside individuals and families in a wide range of settings. My journey included work in hospitals, military communities, child and family services, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs). These environments offered me a rich tapestry of perspectives—each one deepening my understanding of human resilience, pain, and the quiet courage it takes to seek help. I am a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist and I am also trained in the Safe and Sound Protocol which supports nervous system regulation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe each person has a unique story, shaped by experiences that influence how we see ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes, these experiences can create perceptions that feel out of sync with who we truly are. My approach is grounded in the belief that you are your own best healer, and my role is simply to guide and support you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
