I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Dallas, Texas, who works in person and virtually with individuals and couples in a safe, collaborative setting to address personal and relational challenges, creating a customized path forward that helps you reconnect with your own value and wisdom. I am EMDR-Certified, IFS-trained, and Gottman Level 2 trained. I also offer coaching to support personal growth and goal achievement.

Life Transitions 
Change — even good change — can be disorienting. Whether you're navigating a career shift, a move, a new relationship, becoming a parent, an empty nest, or simply feeling that the life you built no longer fits who you're becoming, transitions have a way of stirring up old fears alongside new possibilities. As a working with individuals and couples, I help clients slow down enough to understand what they actually want from this next chapter, rather than defaulting to old patterns out of habit or fear. Together, we'll work through the uncertainty so you can move forward with more clarity and less self-doubt.

Grief
Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and it rarely looks the way we expect. Whether you're grieving the death of someone you loved, the end of a relationship, a loss of health, or a future you had imagined for yourself, I offer a space to feel what you're feeling without being rushed toward "moving on." Together, we'll honor what's been lost while gently exploring how you can carry it forward — because grief, when given room to be felt, can become part of a fuller, more meaningful life rather than something you have to outrun.

Trauma
Trauma isn't only about what happened — it's about how those experiences continue to live in your body, your beliefs, and your relationships long after the event itself has passed. As an EMDR-Certified therapist, I specialize in helping clients process traumatic memories and the limiting beliefs that formed around them, so those experiences stop dictating how you see yourself and the world today. This work is gentle but effective, and it's some of the most transformative work I do with clients — helping you move from simply surviving to actually feeling safe, present, and whole.

EMDR
Our brains are built to process difficult experiences and eventually file them away as "the past." But sometimes that doesn't happen the way it's supposed to — whether from one overwhelming event or a slow accumulation of hurt and betrayal over time, a memory can get stuck. When that happens, your nervous system can react to the present as if the past were still happening right now. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a specialized, evidence-based approach, to help your brain finally finish the processing it was always meant to do. The goal isn't just to talk about what happened — it's to help you feel safe in the present, not just understand your past.

Couples and Family Therapy
Every relationship goes through rough patches — the question is whether you have the tools to work through them together. I am Level 2 trained in the Gottman Method, a research-backed approach to couples therapy, to help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and reconnect beneath the day-to-day friction. Whether you're working through a specific conflict, rebuilding after a breach of trust, or simply want to strengthen a relationship that feels like it's drifting, I create a space where both partners feel heard and real change becomes possible — not just papering over the same argument again and again.

Anxiety
Anxiety often shows up as a constant hum of worry, racing thoughts, or a body that won't quite relax — even when, on paper, things are fine. If you're a high achiever who feels like you're always bracing for the next thing to go wrong, you're not alone, and you're not broken. I use approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients understand where their anxiety comes from and build real tools to quiet it — not just manage it, but actually feel different in their body and mind. My goal is to help you trust yourself again, so anxiety isn't running the show.

Addiction/Substance Use Disorders
Addiction and substance use struggles often develop as a way of coping with pain that felt unbearable at the time — and healing means understanding that pain, not just addressing the behavior on the surface. I have experience working with individuals, groups, and families in both inpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings, which has given me a deep understanding of recovery at every stage — from the earliest, most acute period of getting sober to the ongoing work of sustaining that change in everyday life. I work with clients to explore what's underneath their substance use, build healthier coping strategies, and create lasting change in a nonjudgmental, compassionate environment. Whether you're early in recognizing a problem or further along in recovery and working through what comes next, I'm here to support you with honesty and care.

Body Issues
Our relationship with our bodies is often tangled up with much deeper stories — about worth, control, safety, and belonging. If you're struggling with body image, disordered patterns around eating or exercise, or a general sense of being at war with your own body, I offer a compassionate space to explore where those beliefs came from and how to build a more peaceful relationship with yourself. I hold a Behavioral Change Specialization through the Cooper Clinic and bring many years of experience supporting individuals through lifestyle changes, which shapes how I approach this work — with an understanding of both the emotional and practical sides of change. This work often draws on the same trauma-informed and mindfulness-based approaches I use elsewhere in my practice, because healing our relationship with our bodies is rarely just about the body itself.

Depression
Depression can make even small tasks feel impossibly heavy, and it often convinces us that things have always been this way and always will be. If you're feeling stuck, numb, exhausted, or disconnected from things you used to enjoy, therapy can help you understand what's underneath those feelings and begin to shift them. I work with clients to identify the limiting beliefs and patterns feeding their depression, and to build new, more hopeful ways of relating to themselves — not through forced positivity, but through real, sustainable change.
