Business Details
Your Trusted Mental Health Therapist in North Texas
As a board-certified psychologist with over a decade of specialized experience in trauma psychology, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome posttraumatic stress, moral injury, and related mental health challenges. My clinical expertise stems from rigorous training at prestigious institutions including Palo Alto University, the Houston VA, and UT Health San Antonio, where I completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the STRONG STAR Consortium. I employ evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to address PTSD, anxiety, depression, and combat-related stress injuries. My work extends beyond direct patient care through academic appointments at UT Southwestern Medical Center and the VA North Texas Health Care System, where I contribute to training future mental health professionals. I maintain active involvement in professional organizations including the American Psychological Association's Divisions for Military and Trauma Psychology, and I founded the Moral Injury Special Interest Group for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.My research and publications, including 'The Moral Injury Workbook,' reflect my commitment to advancing trauma treatment methodologies. While maintaining a virtual private practice, I continue serving as a clinical psychologist with the U.S. Army Reserve, ensuring my clinical approaches remain informed by frontline experiences. My therapeutic philosophy prioritizes building psychological flexibility and reconnecting clients with their core values, whether through pain alleviation or developing healthier relationships with unavoidable suffering. I hold licensure in Texas and board certification in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology, maintaining strict adherence to ethical standards and professional excellence. My practice combines academic rigor, clinical innovation, and compassionate care to help clients navigate trauma's aftermath and cultivate meaningful, vitalized lives.

PTSD Treatment
Specialized treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder using evidence-based modalities like Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Our approach addresses trauma symptoms through both in-person and telehealth sessions, focusing on symptom reduction and functional improvement. Clients learn coping strategies to manage flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional dysregulation while rebuilding daily functioning.
Moral Injury Therapy
Targeted interventions for moral injury resulting from combat experiences or traumatic events violating personal ethics. Utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles, we help clients process guilt, shame, and existential distress through values clarification and meaning-making processes. This specialized therapy addresses spiritual conflict and restores personal integrity through structured therapeutic frameworks.
Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy focusing on psychological flexibility and values-driven living. This approach teaches clients to accept difficult emotions while committing to behavioral changes aligned with personal values. Through six core processes including cognitive defusion and present-moment awareness, clients develop resilience against anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Structured, goal-oriented treatment addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with anxiety and depression. Our CBT programs incorporate behavioral activation and cognitive restructuring techniques to modify dysfunctional beliefs. Sessions focus on developing practical skills for managing symptoms through homework assignments and real-world application of coping strategies.

This service maintains clinical effectiveness through structured virtual sessions covering all therapeutic modalities offered in-person.
