About
As a mother, woman of color, and daughter of senior parents, I deeply understand the challenges, transitions, and emotions that come with balancing the many stages and roles of life—and I bring that understanding into the care and compassion I offer my clients.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience providing care to diverse populations across Texas. My work has focused on supporting adults, seniors, and individuals living with chronic illness through compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I strive to create an inclusive, safe, and empowering environment where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and discover meaningful paths toward emotional well-being and personal growth.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Tulane University, where I began developing my clinical behavioral foundations and methodologies. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and psychoeducation to create personalized treatment plans that align with each client’s unique needs and goals.
I am dedicated to fostering healing and self-discovery by helping clients develop coping strategies and strengthen their emotional awareness. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and encouraged to make meaningful, lasting changes.

This informs my person-centered, goal-driven therapeutic approach, as I believe each individual is the main actor in their own life situation.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I prefer CBT because it is evidence-based and highly effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders.
The client makes significant strides towards the goals set at the beginning of therapy, indicating progress in their specific areas of concern.
Self-care routines. Prioritize activities that promote physical and emotional well-being such as exercise, healthy eating, sufficient sleep, and relaxation techniques.
Be open-minded. Approach therapy with an open mind and a willingness to be honest and vulnerable. Therapy is a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
