Brainspotting Therapists in Lubbock County, TX
For Trauma, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting (Level 1 trained).
I treat those with Anxiety Issues, Trauma, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and teach individuals how to untangle these issues from their lives.
Anxiety issues include panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, and generalized anxiety. I also treat Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as skin-picking and hair pulling.
I have specific experience helping people recover from trauma, chronic stress, and trauma from high-controlling religious communities.

Note: I am now licensed in both Texas and New Mexico! Congrats on taking your first step towards healing! I’m proud of you. I strive to make the therapy room feel like you’re having a cup of coffee with someone you feel safe with. I will walk with you through the valleys and cheer for you on the sidelines when you reach your mountain tops. You should feel empowered, advocated for, challenged, and hoisted up by your therapist; I hope to do that for you. As a client myself, I know it’s scary to get started. But we don’t change if nothing changes. Schedule a consultation with me to see if we are a good fit!

I see you. You are not alone…
You’re watching your child or adolescent struggle—and you’re not sure how to help anymore. Maybe they’re anxious, shutting down, angry, or hurting themselves. Maybe your family is navigating divorce, and emotions feel out of control. You’ve tried talking, setting boundaries, being patient—but nothing seems to work. You want to understand what’s going on beneath the behavior, and how to reconnect before things get worse. You’re ready for guidance that makes sense, tools that actually help, and a therapist who truly gets kids, teens, and parents.

Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by past experiences that still show up in your everyday life? Many people I meet come into therapy feeling frustrated, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. You may be carrying the weight of trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression, and long for a safe space where you can be fully seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Together, we’ll explore what feels unresolved, uncover strengths you might have forgotten, and build ways of living that feel more grounded and authentic.

Do you feel burned out, overwhelmed, or stuck? Maybe you feel unseen, misunderstood, or disconnected—from yourself, your relationships, or your sense of purpose.
Many of my clients are navigating the pressures of work, family, and unrealistic expectations, leading to burnout and overwhelm.
If you're dealing with ADHD, autism, depression, or hormonal changes, these challenges can feel even more intense. You might find it difficult to stay focused, regulate emotions, or create change—despite knowing what you want your life to look like.
The good news is: it is possible to change these feelings.

My primary therapeutic technique is brainspotting.
After 7 years of experience in the counseling field, I'm so excited to finally be branching out into private practice. I continue to find that clients are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have an array of experience in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, and narcissistic abuse. My experience with the Lubbock County Detention Center and The Lubbock Police Crisis Team has also given me invaluable experience with crisis and suicidal ideation.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
