Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling to control anger, or dealing with the lasting effects of trauma? You may find yourself reacting in ways you regret, feeling on edge, or stuck in patterns that are affecting your relationships. I work with adults across Texas who are navigating PTSD, stress, anger or impulse challenges, and relationship or family conflict. Utilizing evidence-based approaches like EMDR, I help clients understand their triggers, process trauma, and begin regaining a sense of control and stability.
My approach is structured, supportive, and grounded in proven methods. I help you regulate emotions, manage stress, and develop practical tools to respond instead of react. Therapy focuses on building awareness, improving communication, and creating lasting behavioral change.
With specialized training in EMDR, including work with high-stress professions, I specialize in helping clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling grounded and in control. If you’re ready to break patterns and improve your relationships, I’m here to help.
