About me
As a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed and EMDR therapy that empowers you to take control of your mental health. Imagine being able to rewrite the narratives that have held you back—like turning the page on a chapter that no longer serves you. My approach is both holistic and goal-directed, focused on practical solutions and compassionate support. I received my Masters Degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2004.

My treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is more than talk therapy alone. It incorporates bilateral stimulation, through guided eye movements, sound or tapping to help the brain reprocess memories. The therapy consists of eight phases that starts with history taking and ends with closure. The core of EMDR takes places in the middle phases. I trained in EMDR in 2018 and have been using it ever since. I am an EMDRia certified therapist. I most often use this therapy to help reprocess traumatic memories, anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain and performance/social anxiety.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a structured form of therapy that helps you understand and change thought patterns and behaviors contributing to emotional difficulties.
