I believe counseling & therapy should be a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I work with people who want to better understand themselves and create change that actually lasts. This looks like exploring patterns in your relationship with substances, food, or your body, or making sense of deeper questions around identity, meaning, and spirituality—including past religious experiences. I bring a mind-body perspective to build awareness and tools that fit you. I’m simply another human sitting with you, offering curiosity and a steady presence.

I am an Emdria Certified Therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner offering 90-minute EMDR and somatic therapy in Fort Worth and across Texas.
Helping driven people build a life that feels as good as it looks. I work with founders, executives, leaders, athletes, and other high-performing professionals who are used to carrying a lot. You can manage complex decisions all day, but one tense conversation with your partner sends your whole nervous system into overdrive. You can lead through pressure and still lie awake at 2:00 a.m. replaying what you said, what they meant, and whether you handled it wrong. You are the one everyone calls in a crisis, and the one wondering if you are failing at the things that actually matter.

I work best with clients who feel stuck—those who’ve tried therapy, medication, or even hospitalization, but still struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, or the effects of a brain injury. They want relief, clarity, and a way forward that doesn’t rely on effort or endless talk. They’re seeking real change, not just coping. I understand that need deeply because I’ve lived it. My ideal client is ready for something different—gentle, neuroscience-based care that meets them where they are and helps them reclaim their life.

My passion as a therapist is to work with individuals to experience emotional, mental and spiritual freedom. Someone once asked me, ‘What would it look like for you to be free?’ I have learned that making the decision to turn toward painful experiences to process them paves the way of experiencing freedom. This first step is often scary, but the gain is much greater. My goal is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with individuals built on honesty, trust and an unwavering alliance.

Integrating somatic awareness and human sexuality training, I work with clients ages 10 through adulthood addressing sexual victimization, complex trauma, traumatic grief, life transitions, and relational wounds.
As a counselor, I recognize that healing is deeply personal and finding the right support matters. You may find we are a good fit if you value understanding the scientific & social roots of your struggles, exploring how past experiences shape the present, while staying solution-focused with a strong sense of agency & autonomy. My approach weaves together your personal values, spiritual and religious beliefs, family of origin, cultural and societal norms, social functioning, and neurobiological science to create a holistic picture of who you are — collaboratively working toward your individual hopes, goals, and day-to-day well-being.

Somatic processing related to "Body Keeps the Score" is a growing part of my counseling concept as well.
What do you need in your toolkit to address life circumstances that feel overwhelming? I believe my role as a therapist is not only to stand with you in the struggle, but to help you recognize and tap into strengths you may not be aware you have, and then assist you in developing new skills that can help you heal and grow. It can be intimidating to begin the work of self-exploration, but the treasures of discovering how capable you truly are will impact your life in ways you didn’t know were possible.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
