I use evidence-based approaches including EMDR, trauma-focused sex therapy, attachment-focused therapy, Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), and motivational interviewing.
What Do You Want More of? What Do You Want Less Of?
More peace?
More clarity?
More connection?
More joy in your relationships?
Have dreams you told yourself you could not achieve because...
Feel unworthy of Love? God? Life?
And what do you want less of?
Less anxiety.
Less shame.
Less confusion about your faith.
Less replaying of painful memories.
Less feeling like you are “too much” or “not enough.”
If you are here, chances are you are tired of just surviving. You want to actually enjoy your relationships. You want to feel safe in your own body. You want to trust again — maybe even trust yourself again.

I use EMDR, ERP, play therapy, parts work, and CBT as part of a structured, evidence-based approach focused on addressing underlying issues and creating meaningful, lasting change.
Have you tried therapy before, only to feel like you were going in circles and still struggling with the same issues or reactions?
I work with children, adolescents, and adults in Fort Worth who are experiencing trauma-related symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, phobias, OCD, and attachment difficulties. My approach focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying mechanisms that contribute to these challenges, rather than simply managing symptoms. Treatment is structured, evidence-based, and tailored to support meaningful, lasting change.

You're holding it all together-but inside, if feels like too much. Maybe your mind won't slow down, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like yourself. You don't have to keep doing this alone.
I specialize in counseling for women navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and the emotional ups and downs that come with perinatal and postpartum seasons.
I work with women who are used to being the strong one-the one everyone depends on-while quietly carrying anxiety, emotional weight, or the lasting effects of trauma. I see many women in the perinatal/postpartum stage, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves.

We live in a world where we are expected to do it all, perfectly, and without struggling. We are constantly comparing ourselves to others and we declare ourselves "not good enough." These feelings tend to dictate our response to those around us, so that we are really just reacting to what is going on behind the scenes without even realizing it. I believe that a lot of the issues that present on the surface -- family issues, addiction, depression, and anxiety -- can be treated by focusing on overcoming shame, negative self-talk, and trauma. If this can be done, then the chances of improving your quality of life increases.

“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight” - Batman, 2021. After you've experienced trauma you live in a different universe, you see the world differently. Only what you feel is real. Traumatized minds are directed by emotions and misinterpret logic. I work best with those who are highly imaginative, creative, and ready to confront their past.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
