About
I believe every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and my role is to help you uncover your strengths and move toward the life you want.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and major life transitions. I strive to create a compassionate and collaborative environment where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, strengthen their sense of self, and build lasting confidence through self-awareness, emotional growth, and personal empowerment.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Psychology from Sam Houston State University. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, person-centered techniques, and reality therapy to encourage insight, resilience, and meaningful progress throughout the healing process.
Reaching out for help is a powerful act of courage and self-commitment. My goal is to offer a genuine and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood as you work toward lasting change. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

One of my go-to approaches for helping people with relationships and their emotions is DBT because it provides clients with tools for balancing their emotions and thoughts and making wiser decisions.
I teach the following tools in DBT: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
A client is making meaningful progress in DBT when I can see that they're able to resolve issues with another person in a more regulated manner and with fewer emotional reactions.
To supplement DBT in their personal time, a client can track their thoughts, impulses, and urges. When a client is able to see these thoughts, impulses, and urges in front of their eyes, they are able to slow their thought process down and make wiser decisions.
To prepare for DBT, a person can read ahead on mindfulness and get a general overview of DBT to see if they are able to commit to the time that is required for this type of therapy.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Spring, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
