Great to meet you!

I began my social work career working in Child Protection Services for fifteen years. From there I worked with the elderly, cancer patients, veterans, children in a school setting, and providing outpatient therapy in a local psychiatry clinic. I have been in private practice since 2023 and I greatly enjoy the flexibility of the schedule for myself and my patients. Aside from being with my family and friends, I also enjoy spending time with my two spoiled rotten rescue pugs and volunteering with Pughearts of Houston pug rescue.

My approach to therapy

My entire career as a social worker since 1998 has been working with individuals who have endured abuse, neglect, trauma, grief and loss. What I have found most effective for my patients to gently and effectively release deeply embedded emotional feelings, traumatic memories, and painful emotional triggers is Image Transformation Therapy and EMDR Flash Technique. Painful traumatic memories do not have to be discussed in detail, minimizing re-traumatization and speeding healing.

What you can expect from me

All too often people carry around heavy emotional burdens for decades, sometimes for their whole lives because they think that no one will listen, care, or be able to help. Taking the step to seek counseling is monumental for people and I know how scary that is because I see that anxiety in varying degrees in first time patients every time. Emotional vulnerability to the right skilled professional is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your future. You do not have to live with the emotional consequences of trauma, grief, or toxic relationships for the rest of your life. Let's get started on your most pressing concerns today by reaching out for a 30 minute free phone consultation. Please leave me a message and you will hear back from me soon. Sessions offered on weekends as well.
