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.

As a Black queer woman with lived experience on both sides of the therapy room, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the healing process, believing that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas, as well as a Certified Sex Therapist and Certified Life Coach. For 17 years, I've worked with adults, primarily women, navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, and sexual concerns. I provide an affirming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore who they are, strengthen their relationships, and create lives that feel more authentic and fulfilling.
Therapy isn't about fixing who you are. It's about understanding what shaped you, identifying what no longer serves you, and building the skills to move forward with greater confidence and intention. I integrate EMDR, ACT, attachment-focused, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches to support meaningful, lasting change.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just have to believe that things can be different. If you're ready to better understand yourself, heal from what's been holding you back, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are, I'd be honored to support you on that journey.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is based in understanding the purpose behind the behavior. I find the best benefit in the internal family systems (IFS) style of treatment for this, because often it is the shame we attach to anxious behaviors that keep us “stuck” in repeating those behaviors and unable to move on from maladaptive behaviors.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in McKinney, TX can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks McKinney therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.

Self-diagnosing anxiety is challenging and not recommended. Instead, talk to a licensed mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis. Anxiety can have varied triggers and manifestations, so professional assessment is crucial. Some warning signs of recurring anxiety include:
These are just a few examples. If diagnosed, your therapist will help identify your unique triggers and develop coping strategies tailored to you.
Anxiety encompasses a range of closely related disorders, each with its own characteristics. Some types of anxiety our providers can help with include:
