Introduction

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas. I’ve been seeing clients since 2008 and training and leading other counselors since 2011. My approach is both compassionate and direct—I’ll walk alongside you with empathy while also gently challenging the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I may bring humor into the room when it’s helpful, creating a space that feels both safe and real. Specialities include working with clients recovering from trauma, dysfunctional family and faith dynamics, anxiety, and people pleasing. I’m certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, and I weave these evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and integrative practices to support your body, mind, and spirit. As a Christ follower, I value the role faith can play in healing, but I respect and welcome clients from all backgrounds. If your faith has been a source of pain, confusion, or shame, I hold space for that too. Whether we include spirituality in our work is entirely up to you. My greatest passion is creating safe space for clients and communities to heal from trauma and unhelpful emotional patterns. It’s a sacred privilege to walk alongside clients as they heal, set healthier boundaries, reclaim their voice, and create their own watershed moments of transformation.
