About
As a daughter, friend, sister, mother, grandmother, and person who has experienced many of life's stressors, I bring compassion and a desire to understand my clients to each session. I value the importance of the therapeutic alliance and endeavor to make our sessions as therapeutic as possible.
I'm a psychotherapist who helps adults reduce anxiety, manage stress, and build emotional resilience. Known for my warm, direct, and honest approach, I support individuals who want to change through practical tools to better manage daily life. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults and couples across Texas. I specialize in concerns such as chronic worry, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and difficulty setting boundaries—offering clear guidance and real-world strategies.
I finished my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a 4.0 and hold credentials as a Master Certified Professional Coach. I offer a supportive space for clients to regain confidence and emotional balance. I also provide Christian faith counseling upon request.

My approach for therapy is to first establish a good rapport with the clients. I welcome questions along the way, and especially in intake let them know they can share what they are comfortable with and to respect their boundaries.
I work with clients while working on things like developing healthy coping skills, learning to set realistic goals, reframing and restructuring, genograms, as well as teaching relaxation and breathing exercises, mindfulness, grounding techniques, guided imagery, and journaling exercises.
I know clients are making meaningful progress in therapy when they are gaining more insight into their issues, start catching themselves with old thinking and problem solving patterns. Clients are better able to regulate their emotions and behaviors are improving. Clients' relationships with their peers and family are becoming stronger. Also when they discuss how they are starting to feel like themselves again, starting to do more tasks (school, home), as well as show increased interest and motivation for some of their fun activities again.
Clients can do many things in their personal time to supplement therapy. They can supplement their time between sessions by working on some of the exercises and techniques reviewed with them in sessions. Other activities getting outside or hanging out with friends or family is also good. Get involved in various art or creative activities that have been previously enjoyed or try a new artistic pursuit. Practicing self-compassion and letting yourself just be and to get plenty of rest is also helpful.
To prepare for your first therapy session, you can write down a list of questions and concerns to discuss. This can include current stressors in your life, past issues/events that have occurred that you may want to address, as well as current symptoms and how long you have been experiencing them. Of course, you will want to think about what you want to work on while in therapy, as well as what goals you want to strive for.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Kingwood have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Kingwood, TX offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
