Oleander Counseling & Consulting ATX Therapy, Consultation, Supervision

Feeling stuck in cycles of shame, fear, or self-doubt? If your past experiences — especially in faith-based or high-control environments — still shape how you see yourself and the world, you’re not alone. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, and a deep sense of unworthiness that makes it hard to trust themselves.

I specialize in helping individuals heal from spiritual trauma, complicated grief, and the wounds of rigid belief systems. Using a blend of EMDR, DBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move from self-judgment to self-compassion, from fear to self-trust. Therapy is a space where you can untangle old narratives, rediscover your voice, and build a life that feels like yours.

Areas of Focus:

• Spiritual Trauma & Religious Deconstruction – Healing from fear-based belief systems and reclaiming your autonomy.
• Grief & Loss – Navigating the pain of loss, whether it’s a loved one, a belief system, or a former sense of self.
• Shame & Perfectionism – Breaking free from internalized self-criticism and learning to live with self-trust.
• Addiction & Recovery – Support for those navigating substance use, often intertwined with identity, faith, and family dynamics.

My rate is $200 per hour, and I do not accept insurance. However, I believe that finances should never be the sole barrier to accessing therapy, especially for clients who are a strong fit for my services. If cost is a concern, I’m always happy to discuss options during a free consultation call. I can provide superbills for clients seeking reimbursement through their insurance and can also work with services like Mentaya to help navigate out-of-network therapy coverage. My goal is to ensure that you receive the support you need in a way that works for you.

Are you an organization, treatment center, or clinician navigating complex cases involving spiritual trauma, addiction, or crisis intervention? I offer consultation services to help professionals better understand and respond to these challenges.

With over a decade of experience in psychiatric hospitals, treatment centers, and forensic settings, I specialize in creating trauma-informed frameworks that foster real change. Whether you’re developing a new program, refining policies, or looking for expert insight on a challenging case, I can help.

Consultation services include:

• Program & curriculum development for mental health and addiction treatment centers.
• Crisis intervention strategies for high-acuity environments.
• Trauma-informed approaches to care, policy, and practice.
• Case consultation for clinicians working with religious trauma, shame, and identity reconstruction.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT-S), I provide clinical supervision for associate therapists seeking licensure in Texas. Supervision isn’t just about meeting requirements — it’s about finding the approach that feels most uniquely "you" and implementing it in an ethical, dynamic, and fulfilling way.

I take a relational, insight-driven approach to supervision, helping new therapists develop their clinical voice while ensuring they feel supported in the challenging work of holding space for others. If you want to grow as a trauma-informed, socially aware clinician, I’d love to support your journey.

Fees for supervision are generally paid monthly and are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on practice location and experience level.

Conversations about mental health, trauma, and identity matter. I offer speaking engagements on topics ranging from spiritual trauma recovery to crisis intervention, clinical ethics, and program development. My approach is engaging, research-informed, and tailored to the needs of your audience.

Popular topics include:

• The Long Shadow of Spiritual Trauma: Understanding and Healing Religious Wounds
• Trauma-Informed Care in High-Stakes Settings: Crisis Work & De-escalation Strategies
• The Role of Perfectionism in Addiction & Recovery: Breaking Cycles of Shame
• DBT & IFS in Trauma Recovery: Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches

I’ve spoken at conferences, treatment centers, and training events—reach out to discuss how I can tailor a presentation to your needs.

Building a trauma-informed practice or organization requires more than good intentions—it takes practical strategies and ongoing learning. I offer professional training sessions for therapists, treatment centers, and community organizations on a range of topics, including:

• Crisis response and nonviolent intervention techniques.
• Working with clients navigating religious trauma and deconstruction.
• Implementing DBT and IFS in addiction and mental health treatment.
• Supporting neurodivergent clients in recovery and mental health care.

Trainings can be customized for your team’s needs, whether you’re looking for a one-time workshop or ongoing professional development.
