I'm a somatic psychotherapist, specializing in trauma, grief, & chronic pain/illness for individuals. No matter what brings you to therapy, I address your needs from the inside-out by honoring all dimensions of body, mind, energy, emotions, and spirit. We holistically capitalize on the healing power with mindful & intentional exploration. I provide a compassionate, person-centered approach to therapy, utilizing body-based techniques to harmonize inner healing with your body's innate wisdom (intuition) & the neurobiology of your brain, fostering a profound body-mind connection.
My Specialties: 1) Trauma & PTSD 2) Chronic Pain/Illness 3) Grief & Loss. I have extensive training in multiple somatic approaches for an integrative and holistic lens of healing. Another focus within my experience is in Addiction & helping family members of addicted loved ones find healing. I'm a licensed supervisor for LMFT-A's in the state of Texas.
I'm proud to say therapy has been a vital tool in my own life; my personal experiences have shaped me into the therapist and person I am today. With a holistic approach, I believe working with an individual means working with all of the parts that make the individual whole. I’m focused with the overall, long-term well-being of clients.
