About
As a wife, mother, and Christian, I approach therapy with optimism and faith, combining compassion and practical problem-solving to help those navigating trauma find strength, healing, and renewed hope.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping individuals and families work through life’s most difficult seasons. I specialize in supporting clients facing trauma, abuse, substance use, depression, anxiety, family dynamics, and parenting challenges. My approach is compassionate, faith-centered, and solution-focused, blending practical tools with deep understanding. I am committed to providing hope, guidance, and strategies that empower lasting growth and positive change.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and client-centered care. My training prepared me to integrate compassion, resilience-building, and practical tools to support each client’s journey toward healing and restored relationships.
You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone healing and growth are possible. I would be honored to walk alongside you with compassion, support, and hope. When you are ready, I invite you to take the next step toward change and peace, knowing you will be met with care and practical guidance.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a specialized psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on assisting individuals in processing traumatic memories, diminishing their emotional intensity, and facilitating the integration of the traumatic experience into their past, enabling them to progress in their lives. This process follows four steps: history-taking, preparing the client, assessing the target memory, and processing the memory and finding an adaptive resolution. After this, Thriveworks EMDR therapists in Lubbock will continue to help individuals process the memory and evaluate the results of the treatment to ensure its effectiveness.
EMDR is primarily employed to aid individuals who have endured trauma, including those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and who have experienced other distressing life events.
EMDR therapy is generally less suitable for individuals currently experiencing acute trauma or those who have not yet acquired fundamental coping and distress tolerance skills. To engage in EMDR therapy effectively, one must possess a certain degree of distress tolerance.
EMDR tends to be very effective in relieving the negative symptoms associated with trauma. In a study performed by Francine Shapiro called The Role of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy in Medicine: Addressing the Psychological and Physical Symptoms Stemming from Adverse Life Experiences (2014), results showed that after just three EMDR sessions, 84% of participants reported a remission of PTSD diagnosis. EMDR will often have a higher success rate for survivors of a single traumatic event than for those who have experienced repeated or multiple instances of trauma when EMDR is performed for the same amount of time. This is due to the increased intensity of the trauma and the need to process multiple events.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
