Clinical Bio

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Wesleyan University. My clinical training began at Abilene Christian University (BSW) and Stephen F. Austin State University (MSW), and I have been practicing since 2008, fully licensed as an LCSW since 2010.

I hold specialty certifications in eating disorders (CEDS-C), EMDR (Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant), Body Trust, and Trauma Model Therapy (TMT Certified Clinician and Consultant in Training). I am also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and LMFT Supervisor.

I am the owner of Inner Revolution, a small group private practice in Texas, where I work with adolescents and adults navigating body image, trauma, eating disorders, and relationship patterns.

What I Really Want You to Know

My life's work is helping people connect with themselves — fully, at whatever pace feels right for them. I trust what you bring to the room. I trust the process. And I trust that you already hold within you what you need — my job is to help you find your own way toward it.

We move at your pace. Some clients go deep quickly; others take a more adjacent path, circling toward what matters in the way that feels safe. Both are right. There is no wrong way to do this work with me.

I also want you to know that this work is never one-size-fits-all. I bring a lot of training into the room, but what guides me most is you — what you need, what you're ready for, and what will actually help.

How I Weave Trauma Model Therapy Into My Practice

Trauma Model Therapy gives me a framework for understanding the whole person — not just symptoms, but the underlying unresolved trauma, unmet needs, and relational wounds that shape how someone experiences themselves and their world.

What I value most about TMT is that it honors the logic of how people survive. Nothing a client brings to therapy is random or broken — it makes sense in the context of what they've lived through. TMT helps me hold that with clients, and helps clients begin to understand themselves that way too.

I integrate TMT alongside EMDR, IFS-informed work, and Narrative Therapy. Together these approaches allow me to work with the story someone carries, the parts of them shaped by that story, and the body and nervous system that holds it — moving toward integration in whatever way serves that particular person.
