I believe healing happens through a genuine, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their struggles, build on their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.
I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) passionate about helping people break free from patterns that keep them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and substance use concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from emotional pain, healthier relationships, greater confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. I provide a supportive, honest, and judgment-free space where healing and lasting change can happen.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I draw from evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care to help clients develop practical coping skills, improve relationships, manage emotions, and build confidence.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or personal growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. When you're ready, I invite you to take that next step toward the life you want to create.

As a first-generation Filipino-American, I bring a personal understanding of navigating cultural identity and sense of self while unlearning the mental health stigma many of us were raised with.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work and several years of experience across a range of settings, including individual counseling and suicide prevention programs in rural Texas schools. I work with children and adolescents navigating self-esteem, trauma, social challenges, anxiety, depression, coping skills, and behavioral issues, as well as adults facing trauma, mood and personality disorders, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, and depression. My clients are often seeking space to build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop tools for lasting change.
I integrate DBT and CBT for practical coping skills, play therapy for younger clients, and psychodynamic work to explore deeper roots of struggle through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens. Using motivational interviewing, I meet clients where they are, helping them build insight, resilience, and lasting change at their own pace.
Whatever brought you here, know that reaching out takes real courage, and you don't have to carry it alone. As someone who understands the cultural weight placed on silence and strength, I hold space for you to feel seen, respected, and understood, as you are. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward healing.

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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
