About My Clients
Have you experienced trauma or attachment wounding? Are you in a constant state of fight or flight or dissociation and shut down? Does your nervous system feel like your enemy? Traumatic events affect people in very different ways. One thing is certain though; trauma is stored in your body and affects your mind, body, memory, mood, spirit, and relationships. There is a way to befriend your nervous system, heal past wounds, cope with current triggers, and discover your own post-traumatic growth!
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed LPC-S therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional II who has collaborated with trauma survivors since 2004. I offer a safe space to work with the mind and the body using EMDR, somatic, experiential, and mindfulness-based practices to help you heal your trauma, foster your resiliency, and awaken your potential. I fully believe that a collaborative approach to healing is necessary as we work together to achieve your personal goals. I graduated from the University of North Texas in 1993 with a degree in psychology. I completed my Master's program in Community Counseling at Texas State University in 2003. I worked with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse for over 15 years. I have also supported individuals and families involved in the criminal justice and juvenile justice fields for over 10 years.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe our systems (our minds, our bodies, our nervous systems) are wired for growth and healing and we are all capable of change! So often our minds and bodies are seen as separate and this is simply NOT TRUE!! And so often we also feel isolated and alone with our pain when in reality healing occurs through social connection! My personal calling is to connect with you authentically, to walk beside you on your own personal hero/heroine's journey, and to witness and support you as you discover your own post-traumatic growth.
