Online counseling for anxiety and trauma in Oklahoma and Texas.
I know what it's like to need help and have it be out of reach. I spent 22 years in Oklahoma schools and served in the Army Reserves. Now I help kids, teens, and adults heal from trauma with EMDR, by video, from home — including small towns and rural Oklahoma and Texas, where the nearest therapist can be hours away.

Who I work with
Space for the parts of life that feel heavy.
I work with kids and teens, the parents raising them, veterans and military families, and the helpers who are running on empty by October. I work with some families across two generations. Many of the people I see live in rural parts of Oklahoma and Texas where help is hard to find close by. If anxiety, an old hurt, or a hard season is taking up too much room, I'd like to help you make some space.
Keep calm and carry on? You've been doing that for years. Let's try something else.

Gentle, structured support for kids, teens, and adults.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess upsetting memories so they feel less overwhelming. Sessions move at your pace, with clear structure and room to check in along the way.
For children
Play-informed, developmentally sensitive telehealth, with parents part of the process at every step.
For adults
Often used for trauma, anxiety, grief, and persistent stress patterns that talk therapy alone hasn't shifted.
For teens
A developmentally sensitive way to process difficult experiences without needing to retell every detail.
How EMDR works
EMDR follows a clear eight-phase protocol, so you always know what's happening and why. We build grounding skills before any memory processing begins, and we pause whenever you need to.

Why I do this
I've always been the one people came to.
I spent years watching families sit on waitlists while things got worse at home. I've sat in the IEP meeting, the 504 meeting, and the safety-plan meeting, and I've been the one who had to call a parent with news nobody wants. You don't have to drive two hours anymore to find a therapist trained in exactly what you need. Reach out whenever you're ready.
