Treatment Approach
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and focused on creating lasting change through understanding and nervous system regulation. I integrate online EMDR therapy, attachment-based trauma recovery, and interpersonal neurobiology to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety, and feel more at ease in their bodies. Sessions are collaborative and direct—I help clients explore patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and boundary challenges with clarity and compassion, so they can build stronger self-trust and emotional balance in their everyday lives.

You may look like you have it all together from the outside—high-functioning, reliable, and calm under pressure. But inside, you feel exhausted from constantly managing everyone else’s needs and emotions. You second-guess yourself, replay conversations in your head, and find it hard to rest without guilt. Maybe anger is showing up more often, or you’ve started to realize how much of your energy goes toward avoiding conflict or keeping the peace. If this sounds familiar, therapy can help you stop living in reaction mode and start building a life that actually feels like your own.
I specialize in online trauma therapy for adults across Texas who are ready to understand and heal the deeper roots of their anxiety, anger, and people-pleasing patterns. Many of my clients grew up with emotionally immature or inconsistent parents and now struggle with burnout, self-doubt, or relationship stress. My work helps you recognize where those patterns began and build new ways of relating—to yourself, your emotions, and the people in your life. Whether we’re focusing on boundary-setting, anger management, or improving self-esteem, our work will be designed to create lasting, measurable change in how you feel and function day to day.
My approach integrates EMDR therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and attachment-based trauma treatment to help clients process painful memories and calm the body’s stress responses. EMDR can be especially effective for those who feel “stuck” in patterns of anxiety or hypervigilance, helping reduce emotional reactivity and bring a sense of stability back to your system. I also support clients navigating ADHD—helping them understand their symptoms through a lens of compassion and learn skills that honor how their brains actually work, so that they can rebuild self-trust and compassion after years of internal criticism.
Clients often describe my style as warm, honest, and deeply grounding. I’m not a therapist who simply nods and listens—I’m engaged, curious, and committed to helping you create real momentum in your healing process. My clients often say that therapy with me feels both challenging and relieving—like things are finally starting to make sense. We’ll work together to untangle long-standing emotional habits, explore where they come from, and replace them with skills and insights that actually serve you. As your self-understanding deepens, your nervous system begins to settle, and you start to move through life with more freedom, clarity, and ease. Over time, you’ll develop a more solid sense of self, greater emotional regulation, and the confidence to express what you need without guilt or fear.
I offer online EMDR therapy and trauma-informed counseling throughout Texas, allowing clients to access high-quality care from the comfort and privacy of their own space. Whether you’re struggling with relationship patterns, burnout, anger, or a persistent sense of disconnection, therapy can help you create real, lasting change from the inside out.
If you’re ready to stop managing everyone else’s emotions and start reconnecting with your own, I’d love to help you get there. Contact me today to schedule a free video consultation, and let’s talk about what meaningful, sustainable healing could look like for you.
