Trauma & Anxiety Therapy in Dallas TX
In office in Dallas & Online EMDR therapy across Texas, Florida, Louisiana & Virginia
EMDR Therapy for high-functioning adults who feel anxious, stuck, or shut down
Breakups. Divorce. Sudden loss. Family issues. Demanding work.
Its easy to minimize these experiences because you kept functioning.
You showed up to work. You handled responsibilities. You didn’t fall apart.
But maybe you’re…
→ Thinking your body reactions & emotions are “too big” for what happened
→ Feeling guilt or shame after the experience
→ Hearing a harsh inner-voice that you can’t think your way out of
→ Staying busy or productive so you don’t have to slow down or feel
→ Seeing relationship patterns but can’t interrupt them in real-time
→ Noticing your usual ways of coping aren’t working on this
These responses are not personal failures.
You can’t talk your way out of them, or you would have by now.
They are adaptive survival responses that once made sense—and no longer need to run your life.
Meet your Dallas trauma therapist
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor and EMDR Certified Therapist in Dallas, specializing in trauma therapy for high-functioning adults navigating difficult life changes and overwhelming experiences. Many of the people I work with are used to holding it together on the outside — while privately feeling shaken by what they’ve been through.
Trauma can come from a single event, medical experiences, relationship wounds or abuse, divorce, sudden loss, or high-stress work environments that echo previous life experiences. Even when life looks “fine,” it can feel like something inside hasn’t caught up.
I understand how disorienting it can be to notice your capacity change after a hard experience — to feel more reactive than you used to, less trusting of yourself or others, or frustrated that symptoms haven’t simply faded with time.
I’ve spent my career helping adults heal from trauma, reconnect with their sense of self, and move through life transitions with more steadiness and confidence. It’s a privilege to watch clients regain trust in themselves, feel safer in relationships, and move forward feeling more like who they were always meant to be.
EMDR Therapy in Dallas, TX can help even when weekly talk therapy hasn’t.
EMDR therapy does not erase your experiences—but it can change how your body responds to the memories. It can help you untangle from the racing thoughts, and soothe that lump in your throat, drop in your stomach, and racing heart when this is brought up.
Over time working with me many clients report:
Less anxiety, irritability, and heavy sadness
A greater sense of calm and feeling safer
Improved connection in relationships
Less shame, self-blame, or expecting perfection from themself
Feeling more present in their life instead of bracing for what’s next
Healing often feels less like fixing yourself and more like finally being able to exhale.
Therapy Services
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy helps folks feel safe again in their body, their relationships, and the world around them again. It can help you untangle the beliefs and ways you protect yourself that no longer work for you.
A unique option I offer is tailored session lengths and frequency to work for your needs: weekly 50 or 90 minute sessions, or extended sessions with EMDR intensives.
Anxiety Therapy
Sometimes anxiety is fueled by tricky relationships, that harsh inner-voice that helps us handle our business, past life experiences, or life transitions.
I can help you cope with anxiety and learn what to do when you have overwhelming anxiety or panic attacks. We dive in with offering well-researched options for soothing the stress down, and then take a deeper look at what fuels your anxiety.
EMDR Therapy
Is traditional therapy not getting the relief you need from trauma or PTSD? EMDR Therapy is a well-researched therapy that provides better results for PTSD treatment and trauma therapy than regular talk therapy.
EMDR is a neuroscience based therapy that helps your brain and body heal from the distress of overwhelming life events.
I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant to provide you with the best care.
EMDR Intensive Retreats
→Prefer to clear your schedule for a few days rather than weekly appointments?
→Want to make headways towards feeling better faster?

EMDR Intensives are offered in 3-6 hour blocks over the course of 1-3 days. They can be in-person at our Lakewood Dallas office or online therapy in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, or Virginia.
Therapy for Divorce Recovery
Divorce is not just the ending of a relationship; it’s a shift that can touch every corner of your emotional well-being, identity, and relationships. Your normal way of getting through difficult things, falls flat when faced with this new chapter of life.
If you’re wanting to move through this experience the best you can, get to the work of healing, and discover what comes next- therapy can be the right investment for you. I have personal experience as a divorced mom, and offer individual therapy and group support to those facing divorce.
