Are you feeling stuck—stuck in cycles of pain—whether emotional, physical, or relational? I work with clients ages 18 to 70 who are navigating trauma, chronic pain, or relational struggles. By uncovering the fears, limiting beliefs, and false narratives that play on repeat, I walk with you thru healing and help you rediscover your true identity and worth. My work with women who have experienced sexual assault who are carrying the invisible wounds of trauma—includes female Veterans. You may be asking yourself, questions like “Can I trust anyone?” or "Will life ever feel normal again?” YLet's work together to find a way forward.
I'm master trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and also EMDR, two powerful brain-based therapies that help resolve trauma and emotional pain efficiently and effectively. I also offer a space for clients who want to incorporate their Christian faith and values into the counseling process.
Healing is possible, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you discover the freedom, clarity, and the identity you were meant to live in. I am also a provider for Texas Crimes Victim Compensation Program. My experience includes work with First Responders and Veterans who have experienced PTSD and Military Sexual Trauma.

I primarily use Accelerated Resolution Therapy because clients find this therapy allows resolutions for issues they would rather not talk about or have been unable to resolve. It helps shift trigger responses by addressing the brain and the body. Mostly clients like this approach because they feel differently by the end of the session.
