About
As a mother, woman of color, and daughter of senior parents, I deeply understand the challenges, transitions, and emotions that come with balancing the many stages and roles of life—and I bring that understanding into the care and compassion I offer my clients.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience providing care to diverse populations across Texas. My work has focused on supporting adults, seniors, and individuals living with chronic illness through compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I strive to create an inclusive, safe, and empowering environment where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and discover meaningful paths toward emotional well-being and personal growth.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Tulane University, where I began developing my clinical behavioral foundations and methodologies. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and psychoeducation to create personalized treatment plans that align with each client’s unique needs and goals.
I am dedicated to fostering healing and self-discovery by helping clients develop coping strategies and strengthen their emotional awareness. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and encouraged to make meaningful, lasting changes.

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 Cypress 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.
