Are you ready to discover inner peace, dreams, invest in yourself, and/or simply foster healthy relationships? If the answer is yes, then I am ready to meet you where you are to begin the process.

Hi! I'm Amy! I believe people are able to heal, problem-solve, and make changes when they are supported and know they are heard, My goal is to empower clients and help them find coping skills that work specifically for them, I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and groups.
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.
Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.
People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!
I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.
I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
- Enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, family and marriage populations.

- Hold a certification in both Trauma and Christian Counseling.
As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.

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.
