About
My personal experiences with trauma and loss have given me a strong understanding of life's challenges and the value of developing skills that foster healing, resilience, and growth.
I provide individual, family, and couples counseling services, specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment disorders, addiction and relationship challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and focuses on helping clients develop effective coping skills, improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication, process difficult life experiences, and build resilience.
Through evidence-based interventions, psychoeducation, emotional regulation strategies, communication skills, and strength-based support, I help clients build resilience, improve coping, and achieve meaningful personal growth towards healing.
Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I am committed to providing a supportive and compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey.

As a trauma-informed therapist who has transformed my own pain into purpose, I guide others to heal trauma through the powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit—helping them reclaim their inner peace, strength, and authenticity.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified personal trainer. I specialize in helping women who feel disconnected from themselves after years of emotional pain, trauma, or body shame. Many of my clients come to me seeking freedom from overthinking, people-pleasing, and patterns of self-abandonment. Together, we explore the wounds beneath these patterns so they can rediscover confidence, emotional safety, and connection with their true selves.
I hold a master’s in social work from Wayne State University. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with holistic practices that honor the mind-body connection. Through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, somatic awareness, mindfulness, movement, and breathwork, I help clients process emotions, build self-trust, and support nervous system regulation.
You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and at peace within yourself. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the pain. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward reconnection and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Emotional abuse counseling helps victims heal from abusive relationships. Examples of emotional abuse may include:
Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in The Woodlands gives people the safe space they need to identify and understand the harm they’ve experienced and move forward. Through therapy, many victims have rebuilt their self-esteem and self-worth; recognized that they did not cause the abuse, but their perpetrator is responsible for the choice to harm; identified their wounds and found the treatment they need; healed from trauma; re-established their personal safety; grieved their losses; formed new, loving relationships; and learned to trust their experiences and emotions.
Emotional abuse counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Emotional abuse counseling with one of our Thriveworks therapists in The Woodlands, TX can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.

Admittedly, there will be gray areas. When in doubt, it helps to check with someone else and describe the events as clearly as you can remember. You can call, chat, or text someone 24/7 at the national relationship hotline, LoveIsRespect.org.
No matter why it happens, this kind of emotional abuse can impact a person for a lifetime, until they address it and heal from it. Counseling may help you in many different areas:
Let’s dive into an example:
So when you notice this mental filter, challenge it. Haven’t you had friends who liked you and were there for you? That shows there are good people out there for you, and that you’ve been lovable and worthy. When in doubt, check in with other people – think of what you’ve heard people talk about from their own lives, or touch base with one now. You can catch this negativity before it makes you anxious, depressed, or angry about it, and you’ll be glad that you did.
If you find that you need additional support to manage the emotional abuse in your life, please reach out to an experienced Thriveworks therapist at 281-667-9790. You can thrive and we can help!
