Sometimes people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain—repeating conflicts in relationships, carrying anxiety or burnout, or feeling disconnected from themselves and the people they love. Often these patterns developed for important reasons, even if they no longer serve us now.
Therapy offers a place to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. In a safe and attuned therapeutic relationship, we can begin to explore these experiences together, helping you reconnect with your strengths, develop new ways of responding, and move toward deeper security in your relationships and in yourself.
For more than two decades, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with people in some of the most meaningful and vulnerable moments of their lives. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens through safe, attuned relationships—where people feel seen, understood, and supported as they make sense of their experiences.
As an attachment- and experiential-oriented therapist, I help individuals and couples slow down and listen to what their emotions, bodies, and relationships are communicating. Together we explore the patterns that shape connection—both the ones that protect us and the ones that sometimes keep us stuck. My goal is to create a space where clients can move toward greater clarity, resilience, and secure connection in their lives and relationships.
I am a Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners approved Clinical Social Worker and Board Approved Clinical Social Work Supervisor, as well as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and Certified Brainspotting Practitioner. I have been in direct clinical practice since 2003 and supervising clinicians since 2007.
My professional training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Skills, Gottman Level 1 Method, experiential modalities, family systems work, Brainspotting, and psychodrama. While I draw from many evidence-based approaches, my work is primarily guided by attachment science, experiential processing, and trauma-informed care.
Over the past 19 years, I have served in leadership roles across acute inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care as well as substance abuse treatment. Prior to opening my private practice, I worked as Clinical Director for a private residential substance abuse treatment facility in Texas, where I also developed clinical programming and treatment curriculum.
My undergraduate degree in Social Work (with minors in Biology and Sociology) was earned from Louisiana Christian University, followed by my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. My early clinical training took place in school-based health clinics in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, and later at the Community Service Clinic in Arlington, Texas.
Even after many years in this work, I remain deeply committed to continuing to learn and grow as a therapist, supervisor, and leader in my profession. Each client and each relationship brings new opportunities for understanding, healing, and transformation.
