Anxiety Therapists in Plano, TX
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, life and relationship stress, interpersonal conflicts, postpartum and perinatal disorders, and minority stress.
Many, if not all, of us experience periods of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and burdened by life's demands, responsibilities, and even positive events like beginning a new job or getting married. You don't have to go through hard times alone, and while I always encourage people to reach out to friends and family for support, sometimes their advice and cheerleading is not enough. Therapy can help you through these hard times. Successful therapy allows you to live a more fulfilling life, accomplish your goals, and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other conditions.

Living in this perpetual state of anxiety often leads to isolation.
I understand the overwhelming struggle of navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders. It's like being trapped in a mind that never stops, a constant whirlwind of 'what if' scenarios that demand your attention. The relentless racing thoughts can leave you feeling paralyzed by fear and distress, creating a daily battle that drains you both mentally and physically.

I have seen great success with my approach to anxiety management and also encourage trying essential oils, proper nutrition, exercise, grounding work, and meditation to supplement your therapeutic work .
Life isn't easy for any of us. We suffer with more anxiety, stress, and overwhelm than ever. Let's face it- stuff happens! However, it's not the "stuff" that happens to us that can cause these feelings, it is how we respond to the circumstances that make the difference in the joy and balance in our lives. I like to connect with my clients and truly get into their world, so I can best serve them. My job is to help them help themselves and equip them to change their own lives. Nothing changes until SOMETHING changes.
