We currently have 9 counselors in McKinney West
I believe that every person is immeasurably valuable, unique, and made in the image of God. Sometimes having a compassionate therapist who will create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your emotional burdens can be the greatest catalyst for personal change and growth. I am committed to giving my clients 100% of my attention, energy, and effort, because you are loved, valued, and important to God, and to me as a therapist. I am also supervised by an extremely compassionate and gifted therapist, Dr. Marshia Allen, PsyD, LPC-S, who has over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and consults with me weekly on my present clients. Taking the first step of reaching out to a counselor can seem like the most difficult, but it may also be the decision that leads to life-changing growth, healing, and discovery.
My aim is for you to feel validated, heard, and understood and to receive compassionate, knowledgeable care that reflects the love of Christ. I have dedicated the last five years to working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety and more. I currently offer faith-based counseling for children, teens, adult individuals, couples, and families both online and in-person.
I believe no situation is too hopeless to be redeemed. Even in the darkest of times, there is hope. I am for you. With God’s enabling, I will do everything in my power to help you live out the purpose God has called you to. I want you to know that I hear you, see you, and want the best for you. My goal is for you to feel comfortable fully addressing the areas you may have been too afraid to address as we step boldly into the unique and divine reason God has created you to be who you are.
I offer professional Christian counseling for teens, adult individuals, families, and groups. I also offer Counseling in Spanish. As your counselor I will provide a welcoming, judgement-free space where you can feel comfortable voicing your concerns and know you will be heard. If you’re carrying a heavy emotional load, my aim is for you to leave our sessions not only feeling better, but experiencing a newly found joy in the Lord.
With a steady, caring, and empathetic attitude and with Christ as my example, I will meet you where you are to help lift you up. No matter where you are in your journey, I will work with you to discover what empowers you and allows you to see your challenges from a new perspective. I offer Christian counseling for children, teens, couples, adult individuals, and families dealing with a range of issues and concerns including trauma, addiction, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and more. With God’s guidance and direction, we will learn to navigate your circumstances in ways that improve your outlook so life can begin to look lighter.
With 12 years in the counseling field and over 40 years serving the Lord and His people in various multicultural capacities, I will use my training and life experience to help you overcome the challenges you face, with God’s help and direction. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship issues, or other challenges, together we will take practical steps toward growth and healing. These steps could include gaining tools to relate better with others, implementing strategies for managing negative emotions, and more. You don’t have to remain stuck. I would be honored to offer support that respects your faith and values.
I have years of experience working with individuals and families of all ages and stages of life. Whether you’re looking for faith-based counseling for children or teens, guidance to work through dysfunctional family dynamics, support regarding parenting questions or concerns, or therapy that will incorporate Scripture to help you deal with other issues, I would be honored to walk alongside you. One of my aims for our time together is for you to develop healthy coping strategies that include the truth of Scripture to help you grow emotionally, relationally, and spiritually, with God’s guidance and direction.
As a counselor, my heart is to help teens and adult individuals work through challenging circumstances and see those difficulties in light of God’s heart for them. I believe that healing comes through Christ alone and that the Lord draws near to those who are brokenhearted and makes His presence known to them. My practice also benefits from the wisdom and experience of my supervisor, Julie Northam, MS, LPC-S. I believe that beginning the counseling process is one that takes immense courage and strength and I am eager to see how the Lord works in your life during this season.
As a Christian counselor, my practice is guided first and foremost by my faith and commitment to being a disciple of the Lord. Clients will benefit from my trauma-informed expertise and extensive experience working with high-conflict cases. I especially enjoy partnering with teens, young adults, and their families as they navigate difficult transitions and emerging adulthood. In our time together, I’ll use a client-centered approach to help you build upon your intrinsic strengths, offering guidance, support, and prayer along the way.
