Integrative Healing for Lasting Change
Corpus Christi • Texas • Oregon • Washington• Colorado
If you’ve found your way here, something in you is ready for change.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift, or carrying something heavy that’s hard to put into words. Maybe you’ve tried to think your way through it, or pushed forward for a long time, but something still isn’t resolving.
This is a space where you don’t have to figure it out alone.
In our work together, we slow things down and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing gently untangling the patterns that keep you cycling through the same thoughts, emotions, or reactions. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others, we’ll meet it with care, curiosity, and precision.
My approach integrates advanced, body-based trauma therapies including Somatic EMDR, Brainspotting, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy with relational and attachment-focused work. This means we’re not just talking about what’s happening we’re working with the deeper nervous system patterns that shape how you feel, respond, and move through your life.
Over time, this work helps you feel more steady, more connected, and more like yourself again not by forcing change, but by creating the conditions for it to unfold in a way that lasts.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
When traditional approaches haven’t created the shift you’re looking for, a different doorway can open.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative, research-supported approach that combines the therapeutic use of ketamine with skilled, integrative psychotherapy. It works by temporarily increasing the brain’s flexibility often referred to as neuroplasticity allowing entrenched patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses to soften and become more accessible to change.
In this expanded state of awareness, many clients are able to step outside of habitual loops and experience new perspectives, emotional release, and a greater sense of connection to themselves, their bodies, and their inner resources. When paired with intentional therapeutic support, these experiences can translate into meaningful, lasting transformation.
Who KAP Can Support
KAP may be especially beneficial for individuals who:
Feel stuck despite years of therapy or personal work
Experience depression, anxiety, or persistent emotional heaviness
Carry unresolved trauma or emotional pain
Struggle with rigid thought patterns or negative self-beliefs
Feel disconnected from themselves, others, or a sense of meaning
Are seeking a deeper, more accelerated path to healing
This approach is often considered when insight alone hasn’t led to the shifts you’re wanting.
Care is taken to ensure this approach is thoughtfully matched to your needs. Prior to beginning, we complete a thorough screening process to support safety, readiness, and the highest level of care. In some cases, collaboration with your prescribing or primary care provider may be recommended to ensure the work is both appropriate and well-supported.
What the Process Feels Like
KAP is a carefully guided and supported experience, typically unfolding in three phases: preparation, medicine sessions, and integration.
Preparation
We begin by building safety, clarifying intentions, and preparing your nervous system for the work ahead.Medicine Sessions
During ketamine sessions, you enter a relaxed, expanded state where the usual filters of the mind soften. You may experience shifts in perception, emotional release, or new insights, all within a supportive and contained therapeutic setting.Integration
This is where the work becomes lasting. Together, we make sense of your experience and translate insights into meaningful changes in your daily life.Throughout the process, the focus is not just on the experience itself but on how it is supported, processed, and integrated.
A Thoughtful, Supported Approach
KAP is not about escape it’s about creating the conditions for your mind and nervous system to access new possibilities. With the right support, it can open pathways that feel otherwise out of reach, helping you move toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional freedom.
A Different Way Forward
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy offers a powerful, intentional path toward change one that combines neuroscience, depth work, and compassionate care.
This work can be especially impactful within extended or immersive sessions, where there is space to fully prepare, experience, and integrate the process.

What Makes This EMDR Different?
Traditional EMDR is powerful, but not every trauma happens in words, memories, or single events. Some of our deepest wounds come from early preverbal experiences, relational breaks, or overwhelming events that left us feeling unsafe in our own bodies.
Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR combines the evidence-based effectiveness of EMDR with a deeply attuned, body-based, and relational approach. This means:
We listen not only to your thoughts, but to your body’s signals.
We attend to attachment wounds — the places where safety, love, and trust were broken.
We go at a pace your nervous system can actually handle, not what a “protocol” demands.
With advanced training in preverbal trauma, dissociation, and crisis protocols (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol & Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol), I bring flexible tools to meet your system exactly where it is.
How It Works
Eye Movements & Bilateral Stimulation – We use gentle left-right movements (eyes, taps, or sounds) to help the brain reprocess distressing experiences.
Somatic Awareness – You’ll be guided to notice sensations, shifts, and signals in your body as part of the healing.
Attachment Repair – I offer warm, attuned presence so you’re not “alone” with memories the way you may have been before.
Preverbal Access – Even if you don’t have words or pictures, your body holds memory. We can reach and heal those layers.
Specialized Protocols – With GTEP (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol) and RTEP (Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol), we can safely address both collective and acute trauma.
Who This Can Help
This EMDR approach is especially supportive if you are experiencing:
Trauma or PTSD, including complex or developmental trauma
Early life/preverbal trauma where there are no clear “memories”
Dissociation, freeze responses, or feeling disconnected from your body
Attachment wounds, betrayal, neglect, abandonment, or rupture in trust
Grief, loss, or heartbreak that feels overwhelming or “stuck”
Ongoing anxiety, panic, or chronic stress in the body
Feeling like talk therapy isn’t reaching the deeper layers
What a Session Might Feel Like
Safety First – We begin with grounding and resourcing so you feel supported.
Gentle Targeting – Instead of diving straight into the worst memory, we identify what feels approachable for your system today.
Processing with Support – While you focus on the memory, body sensation, or emotion, I offer bilateral stimulation and steady presence.
Releasing & Reconnecting – The “stuck” material begins to move; grief, loss, or betrayal can finally release instead of being carried alone.
Integration – We close by anchoring in calm, safety, or strength so you leave grounded and steady.
Why Clients Choose Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR
You don’t have to relive everything – Healing doesn’t mean re-traumatizing. We move gently, with safety always prioritized.
It works beyond words-Even preverbal or dissociated experiences can shift.
Relational healing – Many hurts came from relationships; healing happens within a safe relationship too.
Adaptable protocols – With training in GTEP and RTEP, I can tailor EMDR to both long-past wounds and very recent events.
Trauma-informed pacing – We go as slowly or as quickly as your nervous system can handle.
FAQs
What if I don’t remember exactly what happened?
That’s okay. EMDR doesn’t require perfect recall your body often knows where healing is needed even when the mind doesn’t.What if I dissociate or shut down in session?
With advanced training in dissociation, I track closely for signs of overwhelm and help you stay present. We always pause if needed, and grounding is woven throughout.What if my trauma is preverbal?
Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR is designed to reach experiences that happened before words or conscious memory. We follow the body’s cues instead of relying on narrative.A Glimpse of Healing
Clients often share after sessions:
“I feel like I can breathe again.”
“The grief isn’t crushing me anymore.”
“I didn’t have to explain everything, but something deep shifted.”
“For the first time, I feel safe in my body.”
Ready to Begin?
Healing is possible, even for trauma that feels preverbal, overwhelming, or too “stuck” to talk through.
With Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR, you don’t have to face it alone. Your body knows how to heal; together we create the space for it.

Healing doesn’t have to mean reliving the pain.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps people heal from trauma, loss, and distressing life experiences without the need to rehash painful details over and over again.
Many people avoid therapy because they fear that healing will mean reliving the worst moments of their past. ART offers a different way forward. Instead of retraumatization, ART provides relief: a structured, gentle process that allows your brain to release the emotional weight of trauma while keeping the facts of your life intact.
How ART Works
Every memory has two parts:
the story of what happened, and
the emotional charge—the way your body still reacts to it.
Trauma makes those emotional charges stick. That’s why you might feel panic, dread, or heaviness long after the event has passed.
In ART, we use guided eye movements (similar to REM sleep) along with calming imagery and visualization. This combination helps the brain "re-store" distressing memories so they no longer trigger the same physical and emotional reactions.
What makes ART unique is that you don’t have to explain every detail of what happened. You can work silently with your images while I guide the process. This gives you privacy, safety, and relief without needing to retell your whole story.
What Makes ART Different
Fast Relief – Many clients feel lighter, calmer, and freer within just 1–5 sessions.
Gentle & Empowering – You are always in control of what you share and how far you go.
No Retraumatization – You don’t have to relive the details of your trauma for healing to occur.
Lasting Change – Once a memory is reprocessed, the emotional relief tends to hold.
Who ART Can Help
ART can be a powerful healing tool if you are experiencing:
Trauma or abuse (including PTSD and Complex PTSD)
Distressing images, flashbacks, or nightmares
Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias
Grief, loss, or betrayal that feels heavy in your body
Shame, guilt, or painful self-beliefs formed in crisis moments
Chronic stress or moral injury from caregiving, service, or crisis exposure
Feeling “stuck” despite previous therapy or personal growth work
What to Expect in a Session
A Safe, Grounded Start – We begin by making sure you feel comfortable, supported, and ready.
Gentle Guidance – You’ll be invited to notice an image or sensation briefly, while using rhythmic left-right eye movements.
Imagery Rescripting – Your brain naturally shifts and softens the old “stuck” images, creating new, healthier associations.
Relief & Integration – By the end of a session, most clients feel calmer, lighter, and less “triggered” by the memory.
You remain in control the entire time. You never have to go further than feels safe.
FAQs
How many sessions does ART take?
Everyone’s healing process is unique, but ART is designed to work efficiently. Some clients find relief in as little as 1–2 sessions for a single memory. More complex or layered experiences may take 4–6 sessions.Do I have to talk about the details of my trauma?
No. One of the most unique and client-protective aspects of ART is that you can process the memory without needing to explain it in detail to your therapist.Will I forget what happened?
No. You’ll still know the facts of your life, but the emotional “sting” attached to the memory fades, leaving you free to respond from the present instead of reacting from the past.How is ART different from EMDR?
Both ART and EMDR use bilateral stimulation, but ART is often more image-based, faster, and more structured. Many clients describe ART as gentle and surprisingly calming.What Healing Can Feel Like
Clients often describe ART with words like:
“It feels like the memory is far away now, not right in front of me anymore.”
“I know what happened, but it doesn’t hurt the same way.”
“I can finally breathe and move forward.”
Healing with ART is about freedom not forgetting. It’s about being able to live your life without the past constantly pulling you back or drowning in it.
Ready to Begin?
Healing doesn’t have to take years. With Accelerated Resolution Therapy, you can release what’s heavy, reclaim your peace, and step forward into a life that feels lighter and freer.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
When insight isn’t enough, it may be your nervous system—not your willpower that needs support.
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is an advanced, neuroscience-informed therapy that works with the brain’s earliest and most reflexive responses often occurring beneath conscious awareness. These responses shape how we react to stress, threat, and emotional experiences, and can quietly drive patterns that feel automatic or difficult to shift.
Rather than focusing only on thoughts or behaviors, DBR works at the level of the nervous system targeting the subcortical processes that organize your reactions before conscious awareness comes online. By slowing down and gently tracking these internal sequences, DBR allows the brain to process unresolved experiences in a way that is precise, contained, and sustainable.
Instead of forcing change, this approach supports your system in naturally reorganizing itself—often leading to reduced reactivity, greater regulation, and a deeper sense of ease and choice.
Who DBR Can Support
DBR is especially helpful for individuals who:
Feel stuck in patterns that don’t fully shift with insight alone
Experience anxiety, overwhelm, or heightened reactivity
Carry the impact of trauma, shock, or unresolved emotional experiences
Notice strong nervous system responses such as tension, shutdown, or hypervigilance
Struggle with habits or behaviors that feel automatic or outside of conscious control
Are seeking a deeper, brain-based approach to healing
This work is particularly well-suited for those looking to move beyond coping strategies and address the underlying mechanisms shaping their experience.
What a Session Feels Like
Sessions are often quieter and more focused than traditional talk therapy. Rather than analyzing or retelling your story in detail, we slow things down and bring attention to subtle, moment-to-moment shifts in your body and awareness.
You’ll be gently guided to notice the earliest signals your brain registers small changes in attention, sensation, or orientation that occur before an emotional response fully forms. There is no pressure to perform, explain, or “get it right.” The process is collaborative, carefully paced, and designed to feel supportive and contained.
Over time, many clients notice that their system begins to settle, reactions feel less intense, and a greater sense of clarity, regulation, and choice naturally emerges.
A Different Way of Working
DBR offers a refined and intentional path toward change—one that honors the intelligence of your nervous system while creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting transformation.
This approach can be especially powerful within extended or immersive sessions, where we have the space to work with greater depth and continuity.

Healing happens where the body and brain meet.
Brainspotting (BSP) is a gentle yet powerful mind-body therapy that helps uncover and release the emotional and physical pain held deep in the nervous system.
When overwhelming experiences happen, the brain sometimes can’t fully process them. Instead, pieces of the memory, images, emotions, body sensations, become “stuck,” showing up later as triggers, anxiety, physical tension, or a sense of being frozen.
Brainspotting works by using specific eye positions, called brainspots, that link directly to those unprocessed experiences in the brain and body. When paired with mindful, compassionate presence, these brainspots open a natural healing pathway that allows your system to finally resolve what’s been stuck.
How Brainspotting Works
The Window to the Brain – Where you look can affect how you feel. In Brainspotting, we notice the eye position that connects to the unresolved material in your nervous system.
Deep, Gentle Access – This bypasses the “thinking” part of the brain (that often keeps us looping) and goes straight to the subcortical brain where trauma, emotion, and body memory are stored.
Processing & Release – While you focus on the brainspot, your body naturally begins to process, discharge, and integrate what was frozen.
Healing From the Inside Out – Rather than talking about the experience, Brainspotting allows your nervous system to resolve it.
What Makes Brainspotting Unique
Non-verbal, Body-based – You don’t need to retell your story or explain everything for healing to happen.
Gentle & Client-Led – You set the pace. I’m there to guide and hold a safe container, but your system leads the healing.
Works Beyond Words – Brainspotting reaches the parts of trauma and pain that talk therapy can’t always touch.
Integrative – Pairs beautifully with EMDR, ART, mindfulness, and other holistic healing practices.
Who Brainspotting Can Help
Brainspotting can be effective if you are experiencing:
Trauma or PTSD (single event or complex)
Chronic stress or emotional overwhelm
Anxiety, panic, or phobias
Physical pain or tension linked to emotional distress
Grief, loss, or heartbreak that feels stuck in your body
Performance blocks (in sports, art, career, or personal growth)
Feeling “frozen” or disconnected despite traditional therapy
What to Expect in a Session
Grounding & Safety – We begin by creating a calm, supportive environment where you feel secure.
Finding the Brainspot – Together, we locate the eye position connected to what feels unresolved or heavy.
Mindful Presence – You focus gently on the spot while noticing what arises in your body and emotions.
Natural Processing – Your nervous system begins to release tension, images, or feelings it’s been holding.
Integration – We end with grounding, reflection, and resourcing so you leave feeling steady and supported.
FAQs
Do I need to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. Brainspotting works even if you never describe what happened out loud. You can process in silence while I hold space.How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the complexity of your experiences. Some clients feel shifts in a few sessions, while others choose ongoing Brainspotting as part of their deeper healing journey.Will I feel worse before I feel better?
Sometimes emotions or body sensations rise up during the session, but this is part of the release process. We always work at a pace that feels safe, and grounding is built into every session.How is Brainspotting different from EMDR or ART?
All three therapies access the brain and body’s natural healing systems. Brainspotting is less structured, often quieter, and deeply attuned to the body’s signals. Many clients describe it as a “deeper drop” into healing.What Healing Can Feel Like
Clients often say after Brainspotting:
“It feels like a weight lifted from my chest.”
“I didn’t have to rehash my trauma, but something shifted inside me.”
“I feel calmer, clearer, and more in my body.”
Ready to Try Brainspotting?
Healing doesn’t have to be forced, rushed, or relived. With Brainspotting, your mind and body find their own way to resolution naturally, safely, and at your pace.

Hypnotherapy uses the natural state of hypnosis a focused, relaxed form of awareness to access the deeper layers of the mind where memories, emotions, and core beliefs are held. In this state, your mind becomes quieter and more open, allowing you to explore and shift patterns that conscious effort alone often can’t reach.
You are always in control during hypnosis. It’s not about being “put under” or losing awareness it’s about gently guiding your attention inward, where the subconscious can communicate more clearly. From this place, healing happens at the root, not just the surface.
When we experience stress or trauma, the subconscious creates protective patterns to help us cope beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “I have to stay in control.” Over time, these patterns can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional disconnection. Hypnotherapy helps you safely revisit and reframe these imprints, restoring a sense of calm, confidence, and inner alignment.
Using imagery, mindful suggestion, and body awareness, we work directly with the mind–body connection to support deep integration and relief.
Hypnotherapy can help with trauma, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, phobias, self-criticism, habits, and performance blocks. More than symptom relief, it’s about reconnecting with your inner wisdom the part of you that already knows how to heal.

Healing the Pieces of You That Carry the Past
We all have different “parts/aspects” inside us. One part may feel anxious, another may get angry, another may carry grief, shame, or betrayal. Some parts are protectors, trying to keep us safe. Others are younger, carrying the pain of things we went through that felt too big to handle alone.
Parts Work is an umbrella for several powerful approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ego State Therapy, Inner Child Work, and Somatic/Attachment EMDR all designed to help you connect with, comfort, and heal these parts.
Instead of fighting against yourself, you learn how to listen inwardly, so that every part of you feels seen, safe, and supported.
What Happens in a Session?
Grounding & Safety – We start by helping your body and nervous system feel safe in the here-and-now.
Meeting the Part – A part of you may show up: a younger child part, a protective part, or one holding loss, grief, or betrayal.
Listening With Compassion – Together, we slow down and hear what this part has been carrying.
Release & Comfort – When the part feels understood, it often begins to let go of pain, fear, or burdens it no longer needs to hold.
Integration – You leave with more balance and connection inside, with your parts working with you instead of against you.
How Parts Work Helps
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Helps you access your “Self” the calm, compassionate core of you to lead and comfort your parts.
Ego State Therapy – Focuses on states of mind and body created during trauma, helping them reintegrate safely.
Inner Child Work – Gently reconnects you with younger parts of yourself that still carry hurt, offering them comfort and care.
Somatic & Attachment EMDR – Uses gentle, structured processing (with bilateral stimulation like eye movements or tapping) to help release trauma stored in the nervous system and repair early attachment wounds.
Each of these methods can stand alone, or we may blend them together always guided by what feels safest and most supportive for you.
Who This Is For
Parts Work can be especially helpful if you:
Carry grief, loss, or betrayal that feels stuck in your body or mind
Feel like you’re “at war with yourself” or pulled in different directions
Struggle with trauma, complex PTSD, or dissociation
Experience strong emotions that seem “younger than you”
Have tried talk therapy but still feel something deeper needs healing
Long for a gentler way to reconnect with yourself after pain
What Clients Often Say
“I finally feel like the younger me isn’t alone anymore.”
“I can see why I’ve been stuck and I don’t hate that part of me anymore.”
“The grief that’s been living inside me feels lighter.”
“I feel whole, steady, and more myself.”
Healing With Parts Work
You don’t have to silence, push away, or reject any part of yourself.
Every part has a story. Every part has wisdom. Every part deserves compassion.When your inner world begins to cooperate instead of conflict, you feel more present, empowered, and free. Reach out today to begin healing the parts of you that have been waiting to be heard.
