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.

I believe the key to unlocking progress for teenage clients is creating a space of radical transparency and trust. My go-to approach strips away the mystery of therapy, replacing it with refreshing honesty, humor, and zero judgment. In my practice, I provide a brave space where they can open up, be heard, and start healing on their own terms. No masks, no walking on eggshells. Through compassionate listening and a commitment to authenticity, I help guide teens toward self-empowerment. The journey begins when they realize this is their safe zone to explore life's challenges without fear.
I teach the following tools in teen counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they start expressing their thoughts and feelings and become more motivated to utilize the tools provided in therapy. When they express more self-awareness and are excited about their goals, I know they are doing the work.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling with hobbies, social activities, being physically active, and/or stimulating their minds by learning new things.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can have questions ready to ask their therapist, come with an open mind, and come with the understanding that the therapist is only there to help.
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 Missouri City 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 Missouri City, 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.
