Education & Experience

I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and IFS Certified (Levels 1 and 2, including Intimacy from the Inside Out). I am licensed as a clinical social worker in Texas, Washington, and Colorado, and earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I hold supervisor designation in the state of Texas. My clinical training includes EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Inference-Based CBT for OCD. I integrate these approaches to support the brain’s natural ability to heal itself, helping clients move beyond core wounds, build new neural pathways, and return to a greater sense of balance and fulfillment in their lives and relationships. My practice is structured as an extended-session model, offering longer sessions that allow clients to go deeper into their work without the limitations of a traditional 50-minute format. In consultation, I strive to create a collaborative and supportive environment where therapists feel both encouraged and challenged as they build confidence, strengthen their EMDR skills, and stay grounded in their own authentic style as clinicians.
