Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Plano, TX

Do you want to take a deep dive into yourself and explore your cultural, social, familial, career, or any other aspects of your identities? Or, perhaps you simply want to figure out why you continue to engage in behaviors that don’t serve you. Better self-awareness of your identities, roles, and personality styles and their impact on your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships can be empowering. And your newly developed insight can help you have more conscious control over your behavior, allowing you to change maladaptive patterns and improve relationships.

I truly believe that one of the bravest things anyone can do is begin to understand their own story. Hopelessness, depression, anxiety, racing thoughts, and emotional pain are just some of the issues many people feel overwhelmed by and struggle with on a daily basis. Oftentimes, people begin to accept these feelings as part of their normal life. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings, disappointments, and fears without judgment. Everyone faces their own set of struggles, but that does not mean you have to face them alone.

If you need help with your mental or emotional issues, I can help train the mind on what and where to focus. My therapies utilizes self-control strategies, reflection, meditation, and counseling, which are used to help overcome stress, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, and low self-esteem.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. If you have ever felt stuck from past hardships or traumas that are impacting your current relationships, life satisfaction, career, and overall well-being, I may be the therapist for you. I will help you regain a sense of control over your own life and will give you back the pen so you can write your ending in a manner that serves you best.

My primary specialty is romantic conflict. Many persons I counsel are either "stuck" or at an impasse. They just cannot seem to resolve their conflict. They often see their issues worsen despite efforts. I address the root causes, matters that often go unaddressed. These root issues are often why couples continue to fight. These matters are so strong that they can take the best of romances and turn them into near hatred and disgust. My secondary specialty is emotional management, including with children. I primarily address regret, fear, anger, and anxiety, helping you understand and manage emotions that hold you back.

What would you be capable of if you could let go of what’s not working for you?

I am laid back and easy to talk to while still being very goal oriented. I want to help you not just talk about, but eliminate thoughts and behaviors that cause you trouble in your life. I currently work with adolescents, teens, adults, and families struggling to recover from trauma (physical/sexual/emotional), anxiety, depression and PTSD.

I know what it's like to feel stuck, to second guess yourself, and to struggle with trusting others. Low self-worth, anxiety, stress, fear, and difficulty expressing/controlling emotions can be debilitating. Often times, these struggles come with dysfunctional beliefs and unhelpful thinking patterns. You are not alone. Healthy & meaningful relationships are attainable. Hope can be restored, healing can be found, and life can be renewed.

Through an integrative and holistic approach, my style is to guide you in navigating the roads of life challenges, mood concerns, medical conditions, relationships, severe mental illness, and other life issues.

Change is a part of life. Sometimes it can be easy to navigate, but sometimes change can knock you off your feet. I’m here to help you get back up, find direction, and move towards your goals.

I am a LCSW who works with adolescents and adults, both men and women. I enjoy working with individuals who are in some type of transition in their life-you may be a high school student trying to decide what you want to do following your graduation, you may be a young adult getting married, having a child, starting your career. You could be a parent who finds themselves alone as your children have all left home and you don't know how you will manage each day. You could be retiring, possibly having to retire too soon due to downsizing or medical issues.

“When you’re taking care of everyone around you - who’s taking care of me?” This is a question I’ve asked myself countless times. My journey has been the driving force behind my work with women who are going through transition in their lives. From relationships, aging parents, grief, career changes, empty nesting, hormonal changes, substance use recovery, and loving someone with addiction we will work together to understand the significance of each experience. My approach is to combine compassion, empathy, directness and timely humor, in order to help them gain insight, and find JOY in the journey.

I specialize in treating adults and adolescents who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, substance abuse, and anger management. I am here to help you learn valuable skills to navigate through life changes and overcome challenges.
