Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Do you find yourself trapped in negative patterns or caught in the grip of self-judgment, unable to break free? Do you feel like something isn’t right, or disconnected from your body or emotions, it can be hard to know where to begin. You're not alone—together, we can start the gentle process of healing and recovery. It may feel impossible now, but I often think of this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do the thing you think you cannot do." By taking the step to reach out, you’re choosing to open the door to a safe, nurturing space where you will be valued and supported.
I am certified in EMDR, offer online therapy, and I'm trained in Brainspotting, parts work, and yoga to provide a healing environment to help you work through trauma and emotional blocks. I have a master's in social work from the University of Houston, I am passionate about helping my clients embrace their healing with dignity, respect, and understanding.
Call me at 832-358-3310 to start your journey toward growth and transformation. Together, we can break through the barriers you feel are holding you back—whether it’s developing self-compassion, overcoming trauma, or discovering the strength to do the things you thought were impossible. You’ve already taken the first step. Let’s take the next one, together.

I often use EMDR, EGO State Therapy and YOGA in my practice. To begin, we will get to know each other and as you are comfortable I will invite you to share what has happened to you. You will learn coping skills to manage daily life stressors, reconnect and become more compassionate and less judgmental of yourself and others. And then we will target your trauma for treatment and rediscover you!
