WHAT THERAPY WITH ME IS LIKE

My approach aims at helping you make sense of your past so you can trust yourself again.

ABOUT ME

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University.

I enjoy working with adults and couples, with my main areas of focus including relationship difficulties, trauma recovery & EMDR, sexual concerns, anxiety, people-pleasing, self-criticism, spiritual abuse or church hurt, premarital counseling, and recovery from purity culture.

I am a Christian and, if you want to bring your faith into counseling, I'm happy to provide therapy that integrates faith without bypassing your emotional experience.

YOU MAY BE A GOOD FIT FOR ME IF:

• You often think, "Why am I feeling this way??" 

• Sex hasn't always felt safe or good to you, especially if purity culture messed with your head.

• You love your partner but it feels like you just. can’t. get. on the same page.

• Stuff from your past still has a grip on you, even though you "know better" intellectually.

• You want God and your pain to be allowed in the same room, without feeling preached at or dismissed either way.

At the heart of my work is the belief that we are made for connection and wholeness. I want a session with me to be a place where you can feel really safe and really heard—where it feels like I really get you!

HOW I WORK

Using a mix of somatic, emotionally-focused (EFT), attachment-based, EMDR, and person-centered approaches, I love helping others understand their stories, reconnect with themselves, and create new ways of relating to self and others. I know therapy can be deep, but I don't think it has to feel heavy all the time. I love to bring warmth, humor, and a down-to-earth approach to my sessions.

You'll probably hear me ask the classic therapist questions like "Where do you feel that in your body?" and "What's coming up for you right now?" to make sense of your experience and help process the feelings.
AND, I'll also want to equip you with practical skills to navigate your concerns right now, so you can walk out of a session feeling both heard and equipped.

I offer sessions both in-person and online.
