I am passionate about working with individuals seeking to process and heal from complex trauma whether that is from childhood abuse, abusive relationships, traumatic grief, or a difficult past with your family of origin. I am also passionate about working with adults who suspect they are neurodivergent or have a new diagnosis of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

I want to help you understand the “why” you may be searching for when you react in a way you’d rather not towards your partner, your children, or your friends. I want to help you build compassion for yourself in regard to those behaviors and guide you on ways to regulate your emotions. And, ultimately, I want to help you move forward and process your trauma so you can live your life.

I utilize a combination of therapeutic approaches and aim to work alongside my clients in their healing processes. I am trained and certified in EMDR* (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and utilize this modality with most clients. I also use solution-focused strategies to help clients manage their daily lives and feel more in control of their environments. I have a direct and compassionate approach to therapy and am ready to work with clients who are eager to explore and understand themselves. I support individuals of all backgrounds, religions, cultures, sexual orientations, and gender expressions and aim to be a safe space for clients to be themselves.

Outside of life as a therapist, I spend my time with my husband, two-year-old son, and pets (dog & cat). I consider myself a cat person but my sweet pup is the exception. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family and swing dance when the opportunity arises! My professional training and experience has been in nonprofit settings, focusing on child abuse victims and their families and adults with current or past trauma. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas.

I prefer to meet with clients in person, as I believe it strongly benefits the therapeutic relationship, but I also offer telehealth sessions, as needed.
