My passion is utilizing the powerful benefits of Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, and Brainspotting with clients who are ready to live without accumulated stress, anxiety, and trauma. As a client in my private practice, you will receive your own, client-centered therapeutic plan.

My approach is relational and experiential, and integrates what we know about neurobiology, ego states, and attachment in order to alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms.

We will choose a mix of techniques and frameworks that are most beneficial for you.

It’s highly likely. Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, & Brainspotting can be effectively utilized for:

• Resourcing: We will work to strengthen internal resources while soothing parts of you that feel limited. SE, EMDR & Brainspotting utilize images, emotions, body sensations, and positive cognitions to increase feelings of calm, safety, and confidence.

• Resolving relationship difficulties: Attachment-focused therapy works to repair unmet development needs (often called attachment wounding) when we have experienced an absence of care/neglect or abuse.

• Trauma recovery: While I often utilize SE, EMDR, & Brainspotting for clients with big “T” trauma (e.g. a major car accident, assault), I also support clients with small “t” traumas (e.g. chronic or ongoing stressful conditions, such as interpersonal conflict, difficult parents, financial stress). One of the most overlooked aspects of small ‘t’ traumas is their accumulated effect. Multiple, compounded small ‘t’ traumas may lead to distress in the nervous system and trouble with emotional functioning.

I support clients who are physically in Texas in-person and online in 3 ways:

• Personalized treatment programs (Intensives)

• Somatic Experiencing Touch Therapy sessions

• Supportive Somatic Therapy sessions (longer-term therapy)

My fee is $180 per 50-minute session. Extended sessions may be requested or recommended and will be billed on a prorated basis.

I do offer free phone consultations. You can book one here for a 15-minute initial consultation to see if we wish to work together.

Many insurance companies reimburse a portion of the cost of psychotherapy. For insurance purposes, I am considered an out-of-network provider and will provide a monthly invoice (superbill) for you to submit for reimbursement. It's best to determine the exact details of your policy ahead of time, including what benefits are available regarding out-of-network providers.

On case-by-case basis, I am able to offer a 12-week, sliding scale program for clients who wish to work with me on targeted treatment goals and are not able to pay my full fee. Be mindful there may be a waiting list if you choose this option.

We may be a good fit if:

-motivated towards doing the work

-able to self-pay for therapy or get reimbursement from insurance for out-of-network services

-able to attend sessions on Monday or Wednesday between 10am-5pm

-have past experience in therapy and good insight into your presenting issues

-open to somatic-based therapy

-are not active in substance abuse or dependency that prevent you from functioning in daily life

-are not suicidal, and/or have been recently hospitalized

-feel physically safe in your current living situation or relationship
