In counseling I seek to provide a space where you can process your pasts, learn to live in the present, and moving closer to the future you desire. As a counselor I seek to walk alongside my client in their journey towards acceptance, understanding, and change in a safe and encouraging environment.

My in-depth trauma training in Somatic Experiencing and DBT offer hope and help for wanting to manage emotions and reactions effectively.
Do you manage your emotions or do they manage you? Do you tend to do the same thing over and over either within yourself or with your partner in a way that seems to steal your joy and hope? This is where a lot of my clients find themselves. They feel stuck in these "cycles" internally or externally with others that they just don't see a way forward with the way things are as they stand now. There is HOPE! Let me show you how with more in-depth explanations of what I do and how I do it in video form. Visit my website at rootedinhopetx.com

“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight” - Batman, 2021. After you've experienced trauma you live in a different universe, you see the world differently. Only what you feel is real. Traumatized minds are directed by emotions and misinterpret logic. I work best with those who are highly imaginative, creative, and ready to confront their past.

In therapy, I utilize Brainspotting (BSP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), motivational interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques.
Are you having trouble regulating your emotions, unable to set your own or respect other people’s boundaries? Do you find yourself often saying yes when really, you want to say no? Do you expect things to always go your way, and fall apart when it doesn’t? Do you find yourself in relationships with the same person but with a different name? It’s a pattern. Your childhood may be the cause of today’s behavior patterns, and contribute to feeling helpless, frustrated, and trapped.

Cognitive approaches include Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT).
Many people share in therapy about difficulties that keep resurfacing, no matter how much they work to unravel them. This often occurs because trauma and stress hide in the part of our brain that is outside of the ability to cognitively reframe our pain. My therapeutic approach is integrative, healing what’s really underneath your unhappiness. These approaches go beyond the typical cognitive approaches by harnessing your body's intelligence for healing. You deserve to be happy (again) and live contentedly. See my website for more on Brainspotting and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
