EMDR in Tyler, TX
Christian Counseling Rooted in Biblical Principles and Evidence-Based Practices
I offer counseling that honors both Biblical truth and clinical excellence. My approach is grounded in Scripture while also drawing from evidence-based therapeutic tools, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
You don't need to share my faith background to receive counseling here. I work with clients who come from a variety of perspectives, and I tailor the process to your comfort level and journey stage. Whether you prefer a faith-integrated approach or a strictly clinical one, you'll find a respectful, supportive environment.
Marriage Counseling for Couples in Tyler
Marriage is one of God´s greatest gifts, yet every couple faces seasons of strain. Marriage counseling is designed to help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate difficult seasons. I use a blend of theories, practical communication tools, and CBT-based strategies to help couples reshape unhealthy patterns.
I also offer pre-marital counseling for couples preparing for marriage. These sessions focus on building a strong foundation, improving communication, exploring expectations, and developing healthy patterns before the challenges arise.
Whether you´re preparing for marriage or working to strengthen an existing one, you'll find a supportive, structured environment to grow together.
Trauma Counseling & Emotional Healing
Trauma can leave deep marks on the mind, body, and spirit. Whether the pain comes from childhood experiences, abuse, loss, betrayal, or a sudden crisis, the effects often show up in ways that feel overwhelming--anxiety, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, or a constant sense of being "on edge." Healing from trauma requires a safe, steady, and informed approach, and that's the environment I work hard to provide.
I use EMDR, a highly researched and effective trauma-processing method, to help clients work through painful memories without becoming overwhelmed by them. EMDR supports the brain´s natural ability to heal, allowing clients to reduce emotional intensity, shift negative beliefs, and regain a sense of internal stability.
Alongside EMDR, I incorporate CBT principles to help clients understand how trauma shapes thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing triggers, calming the nervous system, and building healthier patterns in daily life.
About the Practice
With a background in ministry and almost 2 decades of counseling experience, my work blends a balanced approach that incorporates clinical tools, as well as Biblical guidance. I hold the distinction of Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. As a Tyler resident, I am grateful to serve Tyler and the East Texas community with empathetic, steady, and practical care.
