Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Plano, TX

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting clients of all ages. I use professional and personal knowledge and experience including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I care deeply about what I do and want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and supported. I love supporting women as they work through challenges, especially in the context of parenting. I also enjoy working with adults managing transitions, self-growth, anxiety, boundary setting, inner-critics, relationships.

I graduated with my Masters in counseling in 2007. I believe we all need to validation and empathy in order to begin to make changes that last. I like to help women overcome loneliness, anxiety, depression, family troubles, divorce, kid challenges, etc but I also help men navigate these things too! I've worked with teenagers all the way to past retirement. I help individuals as well as couples and families. I believe real change is possible with some insight, willingness, and a little bit of tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this!

I received my Ph.D. from UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a clinically focused school with significant access to psychological and medical training. I transitioned to private practice in 2018 in order to allow for deeper work with clients. I enjoy working with clients on a variety of issues, but identity, meaning-making, and life transitions are of particular interest.

Do you ever feel like you're simply going through the motions of life but not really living it? Therapy is a great way to work through life's challenges and regain control over your life. I am here to work with you to overcome any feelings of frustration, depression, and pain. The therapeutic process includes learning new skills and realizing hidden strengths as you define them. I believe that all individuals possess the power to change their life for the better. There is hope for happiness in knowing all you need is within you, waiting to be accessed.

I believe that therapy should be tailored to each client individually as it is not a “one size fits all" solution. Whether or not you have a “diagnosis”, therapy is incredibly important and is a space where you get to talk about your everyday stressors or your major traumas. It’s up to you. I am dual licensed in Texas and New York.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Master's Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I spent the beginning of my career in mental health working at an MHMR, as well as with those struggling with addiction and eating disorders.
