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.

My go-to approach for helping people in family therapy is integrative family therapy. I prefer this approach because it allows me to tailor interventions based on the unique needs of each family.
In family therapy, various techniques and activities are used to address family conflict, improve communication, and enhance interaction among family members.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when:
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy with various activities and practices that reinforce therapeutic progress, such as planning outings or activities together. Whether it’s a hike, cooking a meal, or volunteering, shared experiences strengthen bonds.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can reflect on what they hope to achieve through therapy and identify specific goals related to communication, conflict resolution, or family dynamics.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Cypress, TX usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Cypress, TX offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Family life isn’t easy—and although our family ties are often the first and closest relationships that we share with others, they can be complicated to navigate. If relationships between members of your family have started to deteriorate, call Thriveworks in Cypress, TX to get assistance from a family counselor who’s committed to helping you and your relatives reconnect.
It’s common for families to wonder if they need to see a family counselor to resolve their issues. There’s no universal predictor, since seeking professional assistance is about wanting the support and guidance of a mental health professional.

With that in mind though, there are universal indications of negative dynamics in home and family life, including:
