Does any of this sound familiar?

You may be in the right place if…

  • You've been betrayed by someone you trusted deeply
  • You feel like you're always "too much" or not enough
  • You've experienced gaslighting or emotional manipulation
  • You struggle to trust your own instincts anymore
  • You've gone no-contact and feel isolated in that decision
  • You walk on eggshells in your closest relationships
  • You're exhausted from holding everything together
  • You long for peace but can't seem to find it

The harm goes deeper
than people realize.

You find yourself questioning your own reality — wondering if you're "too sensitive" or imagined things.
You feel chronic shame, guilt, or a low-grade sense that something is fundamentally wrong with you.
You've lost your sense of who you are outside of the relationship or family system.
You feel hypervigilant — always waiting for the next betrayal or outburst.
Your body holds the stress: insomnia, fatigue, chronic tension, difficulty concentrating.
You isolate yourself because vulnerability feels unsafe.
You keep trying to earn love, approval, or peace from people who cannot give it.

You are not broken. You are a person who survived something painful — and your responses made sense then. Therapy helps you build a new relationship with yourself.

Evidence-based approaches,
tailored to you.

I don't use a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we'll find the combination of approaches that fits your history, your nervous system, and your goals.

01
EMDR Therapy
Reprocesses traumatic memories so they no longer hijack your present. Particularly effective for PTSD, betrayal shock, and relational trauma.
02
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Identifies and gently challenges the beliefs trauma planted — especially guilt, shame, and "I deserved this."
03
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Specialized, certified care (NATC) for survivors of toxic dynamics — gaslighting, coercive control, and emotional manipulation.
04
Attachment-Based Therapy
Addresses the relational wounds at the root of people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, and difficulty trusting yourself and others.
05
Somatic & Body-Based Work
Trauma lives in the body. We'll work with physical sensations alongside thoughts and emotions for deeper, more lasting healing.
06
Emotionally Immature Parents
Gibson-method therapy for adults navigating family systems with emotionally unavailable, narcissistic, or immature caregivers.

Bringing expertise — and lived understanding — to your healing.

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Texas Tech University in 2005 and have spent years working with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, toxic relationships, and complex family dynamics. My own experience with therapy shaped how I practice: I know what it means to sit in that chair.

I am committed to ongoing training in the most current, evidence-based trauma therapies — not because I have to be, but because you deserve it.
