My diverse clientele benefits by establishing boundaries & learning to self-advocate, healing from childhood trauma, and managing depression & anxiety.
When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is common to feel like our lives are unravelling. My greatest passion as a black female therapist is bringing understanding and healing to those who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience or struggle with chronic mental/developmental health challenges. I want to be a breath of fresh air for my therapy clients in Texas! My approach is interactive, warm, and accepting. I cultivate a therapeutic environment that makes my clients feel safe, heard, and understood so they can begin their therapeutic journey of finding peace, healing, and new beginnings.

As a licensed therapist and certified clinical trauma specialist, I have served in a variety of capacities from working with youth in crisis, teens impacted by abuse and trauma, family conflict, runaway homeless youth, substance misuse, transitional aged young adults, adults of all ages, to older adults and their families in hospice care.
People tend to seek therapy for two reasons: to resolve interpersonal conflicts and/or internal conflicts. These conflicts may cause you to feel guilt stricken, frozen in time, panicked, anxious, depressed, nervous, obsessive or withdrawn. Most of the time, these feelings stem from cognitions (thoughts) that lead us down an emotional spiral where we feel out of control and lost. If you want to gain a better understanding of yourself, your trauma history, and how early imprinting may connect to interpersonal or internal conflict, you may find therapy to be a life-giving, healing and liberating experience.

Want to respond better to life's curveballs? Therapy can clarify the uncertainty that accompanies life transitions—which are often fraught with anxiety, depression, self doubt and unexpected changes in relationships. I help adults find meaning and direction during these times. Others seek therapy with me to address relationship difficulties, school and career stress, low self esteem and general life dissatisfaction. I offer a supportive place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and what's best for you. We can meet in my office, or we can walk and talk outside.

If you have a feeling that you may be holding yourself back from experiencing your full potential because of trauma, difficult to manage emotions, addiction or depression, psychoanalytic psychotherapy may be a beneficial path for you. This type of therapy helps you explore how things outside of your awareness affect your life and is focused on helping you unravel patterns that may be making you feel stuck or alone. If you are interested in going beyond symptom relief to explore yourself on a deeper level, I would be honored to meet you in that journey.

It is my honor and privilege to walk with clients on their inward journey toward growth, healing, and self-compassion. I firmly believe in the fundamental connection between the body, mind, and spirit. Neglecting any aspect of our holistic self means overlooking the abundant wisdom within each of us. We will delve into the intricate interplay between thoughts and emotions throughout our time together, drawing from mindfulness-based techniques, somatic experiencing, Person-Centered therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems principles.

I seek to provide a safe, encouraging, non-judgmental, Christian atmosphere where people can heal and feel empowered. I believe that God designed people to heal and live in harmony, but sometimes life's problems and past experiences get in the way. Traumatic experiences and/or destructive attitudes, addictions, or behaviors can have a detrimental impact on all aspects of life. I use EMDR, a remarkably effective and proven treatment for quickly healing old wounds and helping people embrace their own spiritual and emotional strengths.

Currently on maternity leave through January 2025. You're wondering where you go from here. The negative thoughts in your head are so loud. Anxiety and stress feel like a regular part of your life and you don’t know how to break the cycle of negative thoughts and actions. Minimizing your experience, you think, “I don’t have it that bad,” but you can’t shake it off any longer. The more you push your feelings down, the more they bubble up in other ways. Feeling isolated, stretched too thin, and overwhelmed you’ve finally made it here to look for support. Simply wishing things are different is not enough.

What happened to you hurt deeply. You might feel like your whole life has been affected by what happened. Your relationships aren’t the best, and you’ve been getting upset or irritated over nothing. Little things can ruin your whole day, and you can’t figure out why. You notice you’re “triggered,” but you just can’t seem to bounce back. To make matters worse, beliefs such as “I need to be perfect and please everyone,” or “I’m not good enough,” run through your head and affect your quality of life. Working through the past is a big step, and it’s great you’ve already begun by being here.

I believe that therapy should be a supportive, collaborative and challenging experience of self-discovery and self-acceptance where all emotions, ideas and issues can be explored and new patterns can unfold. Primarily working with adults, I specialize in working with individuals who may have had difficult childhoods and are wondering how those past experiences may be contributing to their current struggles, conflicts, stagnation or chaos.
