Grief counselors and therapists in Houston, TX

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens, adults, and children ages 7 and older navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel understood and supported. I draw from person-centered therapy, attachment work, mindfulness, and I’m trained in EMDR to help process past experiences. I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Coming from a family of Educators and having over 20 years of experience in education and counseling, has provided me with the opportunity to service a variety of individuals and has given me a strong desire to help children as young as 5 years of age to adults and families in crisis situations. I also believe our experiences help create who we are, and each day we are given an opportunity to start new.

I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology at Boston University and my Masters degree in Social Work at New York University.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 27 years.

I have worked in a variety of settings, including a large outpatient mental health center and schools.

I have lived in 6 different states, including the northeast, the midwest, and the south.

I have seen clients from all kinds of backgrounds.

I am licensed in the states of NJ & TX.

I SEE CLIENTS AGES 18 AND UP.

My education, life experience, and work with individuals and families have helped me value different perspectives, embrace diversity, and meet people with empathy. I provide psychotherapy in English and Spanish and work sensitively with people of many ethnic, gender, language, and cultural backgrounds.
