Meet Misti
Licensed Professional Counselor in Denton, Tx and online throughout Texas and Colorado.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy.
Before becoming a full-time therapist, I worked as a kinesiologist in clinical settings, where I developed a deep appreciation for the connection between our mental and physical well-being. I also spent nearly 20 years in public education as both a teacher and school counselor. Those experiences shaped the way I practice today and strengthened my belief in every person's capacity for growth and resilience.
Today, I specialize in helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, life transitions, and the unique challenges that often come with caring for others. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I also incorporate evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT, tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs. My practice is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and always centered on meeting you where you are.
I believe healing happens through genuine connection. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, encouraged, and equipped with practical tools you can use in everyday life.
Why I Enjoy Working with First Responders
As the spouse of a first responder, I've had a front-row seat to the realities of the profession—the unpredictable schedules, high-stakes decisions, cumulative stress, and the impact the job can have both on and off duty. While every first responder's experience is unique, I understand the culture and know how difficult it can be to ask for help.
I love working with first responders, healthcare professionals, educators, and other helping professionals because they spend so much of their lives caring for others. Everyone deserves a place where they can set down the weight they've been carrying, process their experiences, and rediscover themselves outside of the roles they serve.
When I'm not in the counseling office, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors, or cheering on others as they pursue lives that feel healthier, more peaceful, and more fulfilling.
Whether we meet in person in Denton, Texas, or through secure telehealth anywhere in Texas or Colorado, I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward healing.
