My specialty is helping individuals recover from all types of traumatic life events. If you are tired of of being "stuck" and unable to move forward with your life, AND you are ready to engage in an Evidence-Based Treatment (EBT) for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (also Anxiety and Depression related to trauma), we may be a good match. My sole focus is working with adults who are ready to "work through" the painful life events that prevent them from living life fully. Providing encouragement, guidance, expertice, and a safe place for healing is my job. Your job is to refuse to stay stuck another day, month, or year!
With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). These are the most effective treatments for trauma related to physical, sexual, and emotional abuse; intimate partner violence, combat trauma, and other trauma events as well.
If interested, you can learn more about my experience via Austin Counseling and Trauma Specialists and set up a free 15-minute video or phone consultation appointment. I recently retired from working in the PTSD clinic at Central Texas VA (over 13 years). I enjoy working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+, military, and first responders!

The most effective treatments for trauma related issues include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). EMDR is also highly effective, although I am not trained in EMDR at this time. Trauma recovery is a challenging journey, but the benefits are worth the effort!
