Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Grand Prairie, TX

Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you, with you in the driver’s seat, to set goals, explore and gain understanding of yourself, process your emotions in a safe space, reframe negative beliefs about yourself, and find solutions that work for you. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

I am a mother, a teacher, and a counselor. I have two Masters Degrees in Special Education and Counseling. I love working with children, teens, parents and families to help them resolve inter-personal and relational issues.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology and over a decade of experience working with adults in medical and mental health settings. I currently practice in both a hospital-based Consultation-Liaison Psychology service and private practice, where I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, health challenges, trauma, and major life transitions.

I have particular experience working with healthcare professionals, first responders, pilots and aviation professionals, and other high-achieving individuals who often carry significant responsibilities while struggling privately. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice, while also recognizing that meaningful change often comes from understanding the deeper patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape our lives.

I also have a special interest in supporting individuals on weight loss and health-improvement journeys, including those using GLP-1 medications such as Zepbound, Wegovy, or Ozempic. Significant weight loss can bring unexpected emotional, relational, and identity-related challenges, and I enjoy helping clients navigate both the psychological and practical aspects of creating sustainable change.

Whether you are seeking relief from a current struggle, greater self-understanding, or support during a difficult season of life, I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Registered Play Therapist. I have a background in education as well as social work.
