What I Bring to Sessions
My approach draws from EMDR, CBT, person-centered work, humanistic therapy, solution-focused methods, and motivational interviewing.
Those aren’t labels I collect. They’re tools I use because they work, applied in whatever combination fits the person in front of me.
EMDR is one I want to say something specific about.
Imagine your brain as a kind of memory library. Most memories get filed properly.
When something painful or overwhelming happens, those memories don’t get filed – they get scattered. EMDR helps your brain do what it’s already designed to do: sort through the scattered material and put it where it belongs.
That’s not a metaphor; that’s what actually happens with EMDR.
Who I Work With
I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and individuals navigating everything from everyday stress to court involvement, child welfare systems, and complex family situations.
I am passionate about supporting BIPOC women. They’re often caretakers. They’re almost always functioning externally while something underneath is going unaddressed. And they’re regularly carrying cultural messages that say asking for help means something is wrong with you.
I grew up hearing those same messages. I don’t treat cultural context as a sidebar.
You don’t have to keep carrying everything alone or pretending you’re okay when you’re not. Therapy is a space where you can finally be honest about what’s been hard and begin figuring out how to move forward in a way that works for your life.
Training and Credentials
I have a Doctorate in Psychology from Capella University. My Master’s degree is from Houston Christian University. I am EMDR certified, CBT certified, and I’m a licensed clinical supervisor with 20+ years of clinical experience.
