Counseling for Individuals in Plano & North Dallas
At Strengthened Heart Counseling, I believe that many of the struggles we face today are deeply rooted in the relationships and experiences that shaped us early in life. Our family of origin often plays a powerful role in forming our identity, shaping our core beliefs, and influencing how we connect with others. That’s why I offer personalized individual therapy designed to gently explore those roots — not to dwell in the past, but to better understand how it impacts your present and future.
I understand that looking inward takes courage. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work to uncover patterns, shift limiting beliefs, and create space for healing and growth. When appropriate, I integrate Family of Origin work to help you make meaningful connections between your past and present, empowering you to live with greater clarity and intention.
Some of the evidence-based approaches I use include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), in which I am certified.
With a compassionate yet direct approach, our individual counseling services are designed to help you uncover patterns, heal old wounds, and create lasting growth.

Why Choose Individual Counseling?
A Safe Space to Explore and Heal
Individual counseling gives you the opportunity to share openly, without judgment, and gain insights into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s a process that allows you to better understand yourself while developing healthier patterns and practical tools for daily life.
Personalized Support for Real Change
No two people are the same, which is why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re working through depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic pain, or self-esteem challenges. With approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems, and trauma-focused methods, your path to healing is uniquely yours.
