About
As a clinician who has worked all over the country, I have had the opportunity to help people from all walks of life, establish unique connections, and truly meet people where they are.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. I typically work with women ages 20–45, helping them identify issues that interfere with their ability to function or cause them to feel “stuck.” My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented—I work alongside clients to uncover patterns, set meaningful goals, and move toward healing and emotional balance.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Barry University. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and traumatic incident reduction to help clients gain insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and work through past trauma while developing practical coping tools.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward emotional wellness, I would be honored to support you. I offer both in-person and online sessions, providing a compassionate space for you to heal, grow, and rediscover your inner strength.

My go-to approach is to utilize developmentally appropriate forms of therapy such as play therapy and help the adults in the child's life understand what their behavior is communicating and how they can support the child.
In child therapy, I teach children to understand how their brain works, what they can do to support positive behavior, and how to understand and communicate their emotions. This is done through a variety of developmentally appropriate ways such as teaching deep breathing, utilizing games, art, and play as therapeutic tools.
I know meaningful progress is being made when the adults in a child's life have an increased understanding of what the child's behavior is communicating, when a child is able to communicate emotions more effectively and utilize adaptive coping skills.
The best thing that can be done to supplement child therapy is for the adults in the child's life to work on understanding what developmentally appropriate expectations are for a child. Additionally, adults can help reinforce the skills learned in therapy by modeling them appropriately for the child.
In preparing for a child to start therapy, the adults in the child's life can normalize therapy by talking about how everyone needs extra support from time to time for a variety of reasons. Assist the child in preparing for the session by letting them know that they are free to say whatever they want to or need to in therapy and they will not get in trouble for it.
Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Missouri City.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Missouri City, TX have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Missouri City, TX is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
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.
