ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Wylie, TX

I graduated with a BS in Education from Texas A&M in 1970 and Graduated from University of Houston/Clear Lake in 1990 with a Master's Degree in Counseling. I taught in the first Federally Funded Kindergarten program for economically deprived children in Texas. I taught kindergarten until 1989 when I became an elementary school counselor until retiring from the school system. I worked in an agency for one year before establishing my private practice. I now only work remotely. I trained in Heart Math, a medical tool to help calm the brain. I like to work with clients to minimize their negative thinking and shift to positive consciousness, using the writings of Dr. David Hawkins.

Hello! I have my PhD in Counselor Education and Counseling and my MA in Marriage and Couples Counseling. I have been working as a professional counselor since 2013 and am trained in EMDR, mindfulness practices, and the Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. I work with individuals experiening anxiety and depression, struggling with life transitions, and have previous trauma impacting their life. I also work with couples.

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Board-Certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach every patient with respect, empathy, and a focus on safety. My clinical decisions are grounded in current research, best practices, and your individual needs.

I believe in a collaborative and transparent treatment process. I value open communication. I want you to feel comfortable discussing your symptoms, concerns, and goals so we can work together to create a plan that truly supports your mental health.

Stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Or living with someone who is? Let’s talk. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, I work with families and adolescents who face all kinds of life challenges. Parenting and family relationships are my specialty, but I work with clients who have all kinds of struggles, including military families with their unique dynamics, victims or observers of domestic abuse, and adolescents/teens who need help managing their emotions and controlling their behavior. And our sessions can all be from the convenience and comfort of your own home through a secure virtual platform. Please schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation now to see if we’re a good fit for each other!

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.
