Supervised by Cristy Ragland, LPC-S, LMFT-S, RPT-S, EMDR certified

 

Welcome to my page! I’m glad that you are here…

 

 

My background: 

Born and raised in Texas, I received a double major in English and Speech Communications and a minor in Spanish from Texas A&M University in 1997. Because of my desire to help people and many saying that I had a “healing” presence, I decided to pursue my master’s in counseling and graduated in 2008.  After graduation, and the births of my third and fourth children, life-altering challenges lead to transformative healing and growth.  With the affirmation of many people I trust, I finally began my licensure process in the fall of 2024. I am deeply thankful that no pain is wasted and that it helps us to uncover our authentic selves and purposes on this earth. As I continue to walk my path, I embrace my role as a “wounded healer,” recognizing that the process of healing, growth and expansion is ongoing, and that the wisdom gained helps me to better support others in their journeys.

 

My practice:

My intention is to provide a safe haven for people of any background, faith, spirituality, ethnicity, gender, and orientation, who are seeking healing and growth. Every person is worthy of being seen, heard, and deeply understood. When pain is fully processed and attuned to in a supportive place, it allows healing and integration and ultimately deepened self-compassion, wisdom, resilience, and more authentic relationships with ourselves and others. I consider it an honor to hold this space for those processing their pain and to collaboratively pursue their therapeutic goals for their own paths of healing and growth. 

 

Coming from an attachment framework and with an integrated approach, I access various modalities based on each client’s desires. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a gentle, effective and evidence-based modality for healing trauma. I am also informed by Life Model Works, Enneagram and Internal Family Systems. I have received training in two inner healing modalities which may also be incorporated into sessions if desired. Another modality with many benefits, available for interested clients is “Walk & talk therapy” on quiet and greenbelt trails in Southwest Austin. For clients who request it, I offer virtual sessions as well (interestingly, studies have demonstrated EMDR is as effective online as in person!)

 

My areas of passion include:
Cultivating self-compassion & self-trust
Strengthening boundaries (esp for empaths)
Navigating health challenges with resilience
Divorce & single parenting
Narcissist abuse recovery
Mid-life realignment
Healing from religious and/or spiritual trauma
Cultivating secure relationships
Nervous system regulation
