Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Rockwall, TX

Life is hard and sometimes scary. We all need a safe place to get support and help. I am here to walk alongside you and navigate the uncertainty.

I have a BA in sociology from The Ohio State University and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am an inclusive counselor, an LPC, in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor through the NBCC. I see see adolescents and adults specializing in trauma and addiction.

I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).

Welcome! I'm Kristen, and I'm pleased you're taking this step toward your healing and growth. With a background in psychology and clinical counseling, I offer expertise in behavior modification, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), anger management, group and individual therapy, and crisis intervention.

My experience spans a broad range of individuals, including children with special needs, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I also have specialized experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, women, individuals with disabilities, and incarcerated parents, as well as providing sex offender treatment.

I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.

I have a variety of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to a range of clients from young children to adults. Having worked in environments including the school system, outpatient facilities and private practice, I have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with clients to identify their needs and provide appropriate support or connect to the right community resources. Throughout my career, I have gained experience with navigating conflict resolution, addressing general DSM-5 diagnosis’, and helping clients increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Some seasons of life are just hard, and you don’t have to go through them alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping people feel supported and understood, I believe everyone deserves to be seen and heard.

I also believe our backstory matters. It often shapes how we think, feel, and relate to others. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences while building the tools you need to overcome insecurities, heal from past trauma, and manage anxiety and stress. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, empowered, and in control of your life.
