Professional Counseling Services
Every person has a unique story, and counseling should reflect that. I provide personalized, evidence-based care in Cypress, Texas, tailored to your individual needs, goals, and experiences. I work with children ages 5 and older, as well as adults.
Who I Help
Children (Ages 5–12)
I help children build confidence, express emotions, and develop healthy coping skills through age-appropriate counseling. I incorporate play therapy techniques and CBT, as well as DBT when appropriate, to support emotional, behavioral, social, and family-related concerns.
Adolescents (Ages 13–17)
Adolescence comes with unique challenges, from school and friendships to identity, self-esteem, anxiety, and emotional well-being. When appropriate, I use approaches such as CBT and DBT to help teens build healthy coping skills, build resilience, and navigate these challenges with greater confidence.
Adults
I provide personalized counseling for women and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, fertility and reproductive challenges, grief, stress, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll work to better understand the challenges you’re facing, develop practical coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths.
What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma can affect the way you think, feel, and respond to everyday situations. Trauma therapy helps you process difficult experiences, better understand their impact, and develop healthy coping strategies in a safe, supportive environment. The approach we use will depend on your age, needs, and treatment goals. I offer EMDR for adults and use approaches such as CBT, play therapy techniques, and DBT as appropriate when working with children and adolescents.

What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process traumatic or distressing memories so they become less overwhelming. It is commonly used to treat trauma but can also help with anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional challenges.
-
EMDR may be helpful for adults experiencing:
Trauma or PTSD
Anxiety
Depression
Panic attacks
Grief
Low self-esteem
Distressing memories
Together, we'll determine if EMDR is the right approach for your goals.
-
EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while focusing on a distressing memory. This process helps your brain reprocess the memory so it feels less emotionally intense over time. You can do this either in person or online.
-
EMDR begins by building coping skills and identifying your treatment goals. As therapy progresses, we'll work through memories at a pace that feels comfortable while checking in regularly to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. While we'll discuss your experiences enough to understand your goals, EMDR does not require you to describe every detail of a traumatic event repeatedly.
-
Although EMDR is widely recognized for treating PTSD, it can also be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and other distressing life experiences.
-
The number of sessions varies for each person and depends on your goals, history, and individual needs. We'll regularly review your progress and tailor treatment accordingly.
-
Every person responds differently to therapy. In your initial sessions, we'll discuss your concerns, treatment goals, and whether EMDR is the best approach for you.
