Trauma can be a hard subject to talk about. Often we minimize or compare our experiences with those of our friends who are somehow more valid. We struggle to name our trauma, but trauma includes impactful events like not having our needs met growing up or a significant break-up. Chronic trauma is stored in the body and can manifest as feeling on edge, feeling overstimulated, or people-pleasing. As a former EMT, I understand how these experiences can manifest somatically. I specialize in complex trauma and attachment wounds, and support individuals through life transitions, grief, medical trauma, chronic illness, and OCD.

I'm a Christian who has been counseling for 29 years. My expertise is most evident with clients that present with trauma backgrounds. I use EMDR and Flash Technique to process negative and traumatic memories that lead to distressful symptoms like depression, anxiety, triggers, or panic. And since trauma involves the whole being, I'm passionate about addressing the spiritual underpinnings and values that clients wrestle with, and how these have impacted your relationship with God, others, and self.

Feeling lost, or maybe you’re struggling with a big life change? No one is too far gone or “broken.” My goal is to help you to finish your past, be present for today, and make progress forward into your tomorrows. I enjoy the process of walking alongside my clients’ unique experiences when they feel that they may be at their lowest point. I strive to provide a positive and encouraging space for my clients to become aware of the issues in their paths, while also helping them to uncover the hidden tools that they have access to. One process I process I love to implement is Name it-Claim it-Tame it-Change it.

I believe that validation is key to creating a foundation from which to begin recovering from mental health challenges. If you do not feel validated, you will continue to suffer, often times in silence. I also believe in being my true authentic self with my clients in hopes that this will inspire them to do the same. The important thing for me is that I can meet you where you are and empower you to start making the changes you would like to see. “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” – Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person

Life can be overwhelming when you are constantly prioritizing others and neglecting your own needs. The self-imposed demands of your perfectionism are exhausting, but you can’t imagine another way of being. Leaving a high-control religion has its challenges, as you work to redefine family dynamics and live according to your own values. Confronting your past trauma can be intimidating, but you’re prepared to embark on the journey of healing. You don’t want to spend your life hating your body, but you don’t know if you can let go of control. If any of this resonates with you, I am here to support you.

Many people I have worked with struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and poor coping. I am here to help you come to a greater self understanding so that you experience more positive feelings, stronger relationships, and more goal completion. I also wish to be of support to folks who are questioning their sexuality, gender identity, and coping with strong negative feelings towards their body or self. I want to help you feel heard and validated so that you come to a stronger sense of self acceptance. I strongly believe that self acceptance helps us ultimately make life changes.

Hey! Are you feeling like adulting is just too much sometimes? Juggling your mental health, relationships, and finances can be exhausting, right? And let's be real, those lingering effects of trauma and those family patterns we're all supposed to pretend don't exist? Yeah, they're not helping. Maybe you're super self-aware, but still feel stuck. Like you can see the problem, but can't quite figure out how to fix it. And don't even get me started on those generational patterns your family swears aren't there, even though they're basically the elephant in every room! I get it. I've been there – both personally and with my clients.

Seeking clarity in therapy can leave you feeling supported and be relieving. As a licensed professional counselor in Texas, I provide virtual therapy for adult individuals. When you experience symptoms such as low moods, triggering thoughts and body image distress, this may lead you to feel overwhelmed with anxiety, depression or even stress and fatigue. Many people suffer in silence and avoid working on their thinking patterns which can lead to more challenging emotions like guilt, shame and unworthiness that can reinforce dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors endlessly.
