About
I understand how deeply life’s hardest moments can affect us. I also know that with support and resilience, it’s possible to move through these challenges and come out stronger.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 11 years of experience working in integrated medical and behavioral health services, nonprofit organizations, and private practice. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and major life transitions. I strive to offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can express your emotions, feel heard, and work toward your goals.
I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Southern Nazarene University. My therapeutic approach incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered techniques, and a solution-focused style to support transparency, insight, progress, and healing.
Life can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step toward support matters. I provide an open, safe space to work through challenges without fear of judgment. When you are ready, I would be honored to help you move toward healing and the changes you want to make in your life.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks McKinney therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in McKinney, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
