Welcome!
 
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Board Approved Supervisor in the state of Texas and owner of Chapters Counseling Co., PLLC.  I received my Bachelor’s degree in social work from West Texas A&M University and my Master’s in social work from University of Texas at San Antonio.
 
If you’re looking to heal from grief or traumatic life events or make meaningful change in your life, you’re in the right place.
 
Our starting place will always be from a place of curiosity and I will encourage you to be curious about your experiences, feelings and thoughts as we navigate healing together.
 
I take a trauma-focused, empowering and strengths-based approach in helping clients navigate the challenges they face in their lives. I approach each client knowing they are the expert in their own lives and partner with them to honor and celebrate their identities and lived experience. It is an honor  to walk alongside clients on their journey towards healing and wholeness.
 
I specialize in all areas of grief and loss, trauma, depression, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, phase of life issues, and adjustment to life altering events; including chronic and terminal illness, divorce, separation, and workplace stressors.
 
My counseling approach involves ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), Narrative, Somatic, CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), Person-Centered and Solution-Focused therapy.
 
The partnership between a client and therapist is a safe therapeutic alliance.  My role is to help clients set and reach their goals by finding meaning, understanding, insight, and breaking down barriers and self-limiting thought patterns. We all deserve a safe space to heal, explore, experience our feelings, and process our experiences and barriers.
 
Let’s get curious!

 

 

What is ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)?

Understanding ART

Accelerated Resolution Therapy®(ART) is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy that helps people process distressing memories and symptoms by changing how those memories are stored in the brain. ART removes triggers by erasing negative images from view. ART uses guided eye movements and visualization techniques to reduce emotional and physical reactions to past experiences while allowing you to stay fully in control. Many clients report significant relief in just a few sessions. Trauma and many other issues can often be resolved in just one session.

What to Expect

ART sessions are typically 60 minutes and follow a step-by-step process guided by a trained clinician. You do not need to describe your trauma in detail to benefit. The therapist will guide you through visualization and gentle eye movements to help your brain reprocess distressing images or sensations safely and effectively.

How ART Helps

Clinical studies have shown ART to be effective for trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and more. It may be especially useful for those who have not experienced relief from other therapies, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy or Prolonged Exposure.

Key Benefits

• Brief and focused; many clients experience relief within one session.

• No detailed retelling of trauma is required; making it easier for both therapist and client.

• Clients remain in control throughout the session.

• Can address a wide range of emotional and physical symptoms.

• Evidence-based and trauma-informed.
