Early on in our work, we’ll focus on helping you build coping skills, emotional awareness, and a better understanding of how your mind and body respond to stress.

As we go, we’ll also gently explore where these patterns you’re noticing started. That might mean looking at family dynamics, cultural expectations, or early experiences that shaped how you relate to yourself and others today.

I draw from my backgrounds in both physiology and counseling to help you connect what’s happening emotionally with what’s happening in your body. Depending on your needs, our work may include learning about emotions and nervous system responses, tracing current reactions back to earlier experiences, or using experiential methods like EMDR or IFS therapy for trauma to process certain experiences when you’re ready. If faith or spirituality is important to you, I’m open to incorporating that into our work as well.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my steadiness and consistency—that I show up as the same grounded, authentic person each session, no matter what. I take that seriously. I’ll bring curiosity, empathy, and a genuine desire to understand your experience, and I’ll encourage you to be curious about yourself too—about what you’re feeling, why it makes sense, and what might be possible with more awareness and support.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from University of Arkansas and completed my graduate training in Counseling with a concentration in sexual addiction at Southern Methodist University. I am EMDR trained and incorporate IFS-informed and sex therapy-informed approaches into my work. My path into this field was shaped by my own curiosity about people, emotions, and healing, and I continue to invest time outside of sessions learning and growing so I can show up fully for my clients.

If you’re feeling stuck, on edge, or disconnected from yourself and are ready to find clarity, I’d be honored to support you.
