About Me

Trauma-Informed Therapy for Addiction, Childhood Trauma & Emotional Healing

Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, and Holistic Mental Health Support in Texas

With over seven years of experience in the addiction field, I began asking deeper questions: What’s happening before the addiction? Can we address the root causes to support lasting recovery? These questions reshaped my worldview and led me to a more holistic, trauma-informed approach to therapy.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, and attachment wounds. My therapeutic style is compassionate, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based modalities, including:

  • Mindfulness-based practices for emotional regulation
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) for inner healing and integration
  • Somatic therapy to reconnect with the body and release stored trauma

Who I Support

I work with Adults, specialize in Women's Issues, and college students.

  • Trauma and emotional dysregulation
  • Identity exploration and self-worth
  • Relationship challenges and attachment issues
  • Recovery from addiction and survival-based coping patterns

My Philosophy

Therapy is a space to reconnect with your inner self, process unresolved experiences, and move beyond survival. My goal is to help you build secure, authentic connections and step into the fulfilling life you deserve.

This work is part of my second career, following a meaningful chapter as a librarian—a role that instilled a deep love for learning and a profound respect for each person’s unique story. I bring that same curiosity and care into the therapy room, combining data-driven research with empathy and compassion.

I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering tools, insights, and support as you create a personal path toward healing and growth—one that can carry you forward with strength and clarity.
