Depression, anxiety, and the effects of traumatic experiences can get in the way of you living the kind of life you want.

It's not easy to ask for help. Maybe you've shared your situation with close friends or family and received support and advice, but things aren't really getting better.

Do you feel alone, powerless and stuck in the same repeated arguments? Do you long for the connection and friendship you once had with your partner? When relationships are hurting, it affects everything. Underneath the painful surface could be many issues such as depression, ADHD, anxiety, shame, infidelity, substance use or parenting challenges.

Offering Video Sessions for Texas and in person sessions for Califonia. We are usually afraid of our feelings. We try to avoid them, mask them, hide them. We live in a world that tells us to be happy. We try, but we can't, the feelings catch up with us. So we feel even worse. We feel lost, afraid, and guilty for feeling our feelings. In my practice, I provide a safe environment where you can start exploring your feelings, accept them, and work through them. I will help you get in touch with your inner/true self, accepting yourself for who you are, moving away from shame, guilt and fear, and starting the process of change.

Most of all, you’re ready to find peace inside yourself so you can show up for your kids in a way that you’re proud of.

I am an LMFT with a specialty in trauma. Trauma has many layers and degrees, and I believe that trauma is completely subjective to the person experiencing it. I particularly enjoy working with first responders, high-conflict couples, and individuals dealing with past trauma. I am a Christian counselor; however, I recognize that everyone's faith journey is different, and I respect that. As an LMFT, I look at all issues from a systems perspective and add that to neuroscience knowledge to help normalize responses. The hope is to identify and change patterns for more effective relationships.

You know that saying “Never judge a book by its cover”? Well, I can honestly say that the cover of my book does not match the pages! The pages in my book of life have equipped me with the experience to connect with ALL people. In my book, I’ve encountered many conflicts. I’ve been the antagonist and the protagonist and I’m just in the rising action. Because my pages are not all filled with butterflies and sunshine, I’ve had to work to find ways to help equip myself with daily coping skills. I am happy to be in a position to share my experience with others through therapy and educational opportunities.

More Shifting - Less Processing. Instead of talking your feelings to death, our aim is to give you a transformative experience. Using everything that psychology knows about the parasympathetic nervous system, we can quickly SHIFT you to a new story - accessing the part of the brain that perceives life in a fresh way. This Isn't Your Average Talk Therapy - of course we'll talk about your stories, your history, your painful issues. But something more needs to take place in order to dig down to those deep-seated memories and pockets of pain that keep you stuck or sick. We have to go beyond the place most psychology can take you.
