Looking for Healing and Support?
Are you tired of feeling stuck in the past? If you are struggling with the lingering effects of trauma, hypervigilance, or painful memories that won't stay away, I can help. I specialize in helping individuals process complex trauma and PTSD using EMDR and somatic-based techniques.
Experienced Therapist
Annie is a licensed psychotherapist with a passion for helping individuals in the North Fort Worth/Keller, TX area, as well as across Texas virtually. She holds degrees in psychology from Texas A&M University and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) from ACU.

She has completed post-graduate training in the neurobiology of attachment and body-oriented therapy techniques for trauma through the National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine.
Helping You Heal
I use a systemic lens to help individuals understand how their early attachment patterns and family history impact their current mental health. We won't just talk about the symptoms; we will work to heal the root of the trauma. Whether you've experienced childhood wounds, are struggling with the daily impacts of ADHD, or simply want to improve your emotional well-being, I can guide you on your path to healing.

EMDR: An evidence-based approach that utilizes Bilateral Stimulation (BLS)—such as rhythmic tactile pulsars, auditory tones, or guided visual tracking—to help the brain resume its natural healing process and reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories.

Commonly Asked Questions with Annie
-
What is the difference between Standard EMDR and Attachment-Focused EMDR? Standard EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) focuses on processing specific traumatic events (like a car accident or a single frightening incident). AF-EMDR (Attachment-Focused EMDR) is designed for "relational trauma." This is for clients who grew up in environments where they felt unseen, neglected, or unsafe. AF-EMDR focuses on repairing those early childhood wounds and building "internal resources" to help you feel more secure in your current relationships and self-worth.
-
How do EMDR and AF-EMDR therapy help with PTSD and anxiety? EMDR and AF-EMDR are specialized, evidence-based approaches I use to help clients in the Keller and Fort Worth area process painful memories that feel "stuck." Unlike traditional talk therapy, both modalities help your brain "re-file" traumatic experiences so they no longer cause intense emotional distress or "trigger" physical responses in your daily life. It is a powerful tool for reducing the "always-on" feeling of anxiety.
-
What should I look for in an Adult ADHD therapist in Keller, TX? Many adults struggle with executive dysfunction, chronic procrastination, and "ADHD burnout" without realizing these are treatable symptoms. As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I provide targeted support for adults in the 76244 and 76248 areas. We focus on neurobiology-informed strategies to manage your focus and emotions, helping you navigate a world that wasn't necessarily built for an ADHD brain.
-
How do "Somatic-based" techniques help with trauma and anxiety? Trauma isn't just stored in your thoughts; it’s stored in your nervous system. Through my post-graduate training in the neurobiology of attachment, I help clients in Keller and Fort Worth understand why their bodies stay in "survival mode" (fight, flight, or freeze). I use evidence-based techniques to help your brain and body communicate again, allowing you to feel calm and grounded rather than constantly overwhelmed.
-
Can I do EMDR therapy virtually if I live outside of Fort Worth and Keller? Absolutely. I hold a Certificate in Virtual EMDR and am a registered telehealth provider for the entire state of Texas. Virtual EMDR is just as effective as in-person sessions, allowing you to process trauma from the comfort and safety of your own home while still receiving specialized, expert care from a licensed professional.
