Every day, it is important for me to remember that with each client I see, I may be the only person in their life capable of both hearing and holding their pain.
I believe that everyone has a story and it deserves to be heard. My approach to counseling is to empower the client while maintaining a therapeutic and professional relationship. I believe that the counselor should not work harder than the client and the client should not work harder than the counselor. I will work hand in hand with the client, toward goals that are appropriate to their situation.

I've spent 19 years helping people face their anxiety, grow from their pain, and believe in themselves with warmth and no judgment.
Are you feeling stuck and ready to live like you again? Is the voice in your head that you are never enough getting too loud? I help anxious hurting people who might know how to function through their pain but know they need to heal to live their best life. Living with anxiety can be crippling. If your anxiety runs the show you know you miss out on friends, family, and unlocking your potential. When your trauma defines who you are safety is always out of reach. If you have been longing for a safe space to unload your burdens and learn new ways to cope the time is never going to be perfect but it can be now. You can be better.

As a Clinical Social Worker, I want to make therapy accessible to as many people as possible. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in social work from TWU in 2015 and a master’s degree in social work from the UT of Arlington in 2016. I first became interested in social work after volunteering at a domestic violence shelter for women. Through this experience I learned the importance of having support, community involvement, and healing. Overall, I have worked primarily in nursing homes, hospice, and PHP/IOP mental health settings. However, my deep passion for therapy comes from witnessing firsthand the benefits that come along with it.

People should live happier, healthier lives. That is what all people want and deserve. My focus is on helping people achieve ALL of their goals. Everyone goes through tough times. Some people go through them on their own, but sometimes it takes a professional, unbiased perspective to help. People are the result of both nature (inherited traits) and nurture (environment) which form lenses through which we perceive the world. Through life experience, lenses can become scratched or cloudy. Bring the drive to improve and I will provide the experience, empathy, and knowledge. Let's make them clear again, together, as a team!

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
