In-Person in Frisco, TX 75034
I became a therapist after experiencing how hard it can be to get help when your pain or your account of what happened doesn’t fit someone else’s explanation. Being dismissed can leave a mark of its own. It can make you wonder whether you’ll have to spend the next appointment convincing someone to believe you. At Inner Archive Therapy, you don’t have to arrive with a perfectly organized story. I’ll meet you with curiosity and make room for the parts of your life that feel complicated or contradictory.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- 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.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Social Constructionist Therapy Looks at how social and cultural context shapes identity and problems. It helps clients create new narratives of meaning.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: That gap between understanding an experience and feeling its effects is something we can work with. You might know the danger has passed and still find yourself shutting down, feeling on edge, avoiding reminders of what happened, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Knowing you’re safe enough doesn’t always mean feeling safe enough. In therapy, we get curious about those responses and their purpose. I use EMDR and ego state therapy to help you work with what still feels unresolved.
