I'm a LCSW based in Texas. I am an somatic therapist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), ​TCYM Certified (Trauma Conscious Yoga Method), and a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher 200). I integrate somatic approaches such as, EMDR and yoga to strengthen a mind-body connection, increase self-awareness, and process old wounds. I'm 100% virtual, making therapy accessible and convenient! Many women are on autopilot, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, depleted, and burnt out. I integrate somatic practices such as EMDR (trauma healing) and yoga into therapy, recognizing the importance of the mind-body connection in healing. Together, we will practice ways to manage stress, address inner wounds, and remain intentional throughout your life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session I'll get to learn more about what you get inspired by, what makes you anxious and history about your experiences. I'll provide space to share parts of you and I will explain the different ways we can process your inner wounds.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Remaining trauma conscious is at the heart of my practice; I'm mindful of the intergenerational cycles and the systemic barriers that affect women, particularly BIPOC women. I strive to provide an empowering and validating space where women can process wounds, identify their power, and foster a journey of self-awareness. I acknowledge the intrinsic wisdom women carry.

My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

I am best suited for working with women experiencing life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, work/relationship/motherhood balance, and impacts of trauma. I integrate somatic techniques such as EMDR and yoga practices to strengthen a mind-body connection. I believe women can heal wounded parts and deconstruct negative beliefs when we get curious. Together, we can increase your level of self-awareness, learn mind-body practices, increase your capacity to manage life's stressors and create healthy boundaries. Ultimately, allowing you to feel more confident and in control of your life.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy technique used to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. EMDR reduces the emotional intensity traumatic memories can have on our body, making them less disruptive. It's been shown to be effective for PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.

Grief Therapy

A person can process grief somatically by paying attention to how emotions show up in the body, like tightness in the chest or heaviness in the limbs. Gentle movement practices like yoga and stretching can help release stored tension and emotions. Breathwork can calm the nervous system and create space for difficult feelings to move through.

Mind-body approach

Mind-body approaches are healing methods that connect how we think and feel with how our bodies respond. They help people notice and work with the ways stress, trauma, or emotions show up physically. Practices like meditation, yoga, and breathwork are common mind-body tools. These approaches support healing by calming the nervous system and increasing body awareness. Over time, they can help people feel more balanced, present, and in tune with themselves.
