About My Clients
Are you trying to find their footing after overwhelming experiences, experiencing anxiety, or a big change? Do you wonder how much those challenges have impacted who you are, how you feel, and how you connect in relationships? It doesn’t have to keep being this hard. Imagine feeling free of the shame and anxiety so you can really be present to the life you’ve created. Imagine understanding what you’re feeling and no longer doubting if it makes sense.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an EMDR Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant. In addition to EMDR, I am trained in DBT and in Perinatal Mental Health. I often first focus on providing education to increase your understanding of what you're experiencing, and focus on coping strategies (EMDR resourcing & DBT skills) to reduce suffering. Then we normally focus on what contributes to your experiences or suffering through talk therapy or EMDR. I am a social worker by training and spent the first 12 years of my career serving through non-profit programs. I have experiences working with communities of sex workers, racially diverse women, those leaving abusive relationships, or those with substance use struggles. Our work can happen in-person in our East Dallas office or online for those in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, or Oklahoma. Want to see if this is a good fit?

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that with support & good intervention that trauma & anxiety symptoms can be much better than what they are now. I understand sometimes you are exploring changes in therapy that don't have clear-cut answers and give you the space to make the decision that are best for you. I don't discriminate against anyone and am willing to acknowledge what I don't know because our differences in life experience. I grew up in East Texas, and moved to Dallas in 2008 to pursue my master’s degree. I starting therapy then and it continues to be a space to heal from overwhelming life experiences and grow as a person. I am an enneagram 7 and enjoy playing outside with my two sons, reading a good book, streaming funny shows, or enjoying food and conversation with friends.
