Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Houston, TX

I believe therapy is collaborative. Two humans with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives work together to establish a direction for therapy that aligns with the client’s goals and evolving needs. But to accurately address these needs, the therapist and client need a space of safety, trust, and authenticity. Unfortunately, our society can be threatening to people as they step outside their social roles and into their authentic selves, making feelings of safety difficult to access. Consequently, I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that allows for open communication, trust, exploration, and growth.

Real Talk for Real Change is my method. I’m a trauma-informed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping adults discover the joy in living authentically. My work focuses on empowering others to create and meet goals that are meaningful to them. I believe in the power of empathic and insightful collaboration to promote self-discovery and positive change.
