Trauma & Nervous System RecoverY

heal your nervous system

we help women & men recover

Heal the wounds beneath the symptoms.

At The Conversation Spot, we believe healing goes beyond managing symptoms. Trauma can leave your nervous system stuck in survival mode, making it difficult to feel safe, connected, and fully present in your life. You may appear successful on the outside while silently struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

We specialize in Trauma & Nervous System Recovery, helping adults understand how unresolved trauma impacts their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. Through evidence-based, trauma-informed care, we help you regulate your nervous system, process painful experiences, and create lasting change from the inside out.

Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, toxic relationships, grief, chronic stress, or significant life transitions, healing is possible. Together, we'll help you move beyond survival, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life marked by peace, resilience, and emotional freedom.

We Help Clients Who Are Experiencing:

Anxiety, chronic stress, or burnout
Childhood trauma and adverse life experiences
Complex trauma (C-PTSD)
Emotional abuse and toxic relationships
Low self-worth and identity struggles
Difficulty regulating emotions
People-pleasing and perfectionism
Grief and major life transitions
Relationship and attachment challenges
Feeling emotionally numb, disconnected, or "stuck"

Our Approach

Healing begins when your mind and body no longer feel trapped in survival mode.

Our therapeutic approach integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based practices with compassionate, personalized care to help you:

Regulate your nervous system
Understand how past experiences shape present behaviors
Process unresolved trauma safely
Strengthen emotional resilience
Develop healthier relationships and boundaries
Rebuild confidence and a secure sense of identity
Create lasting emotional wellness

Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique story, goals, and pace because healing is not one-size-fits-all.

Your Healing Starts Here

You don't have to keep carrying what happened to you.

If you're ready to break free from survival mode, restore emotional balance, and experience true healing, we're here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

At The Conversation Spot, we're committed to helping you heal deeply, live authentically, and thrive with confidence.

From surviving to thriving—one conversation at a time.

(Accepting New Clients)

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), trauma-informed therapist, wellness strategist and transformational coach based in Houston. I am the founder of The Conversation Spot, a behavioral wellness practice dedicated to helping individuals, couples, families, leaders, and justice-involved populations heal, rebuild, and thrive.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, life transitions, and faith-integrated counseling. I conduct sessions conversational style, with a client centered approach. My clients value my direct approach and my passion for dealing with "all parts" of who you are. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with compassionate support to help clients move beyond survival mode and toward healing, clarity, and personal transformation.

I am passionate about helping people uncover root issues, break unhealthy patterns, heal inner child and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. In addition to therapy services, I also lead behavioral wellness programs, SOP/IOP substance abuse groups, workshops, and transformational conversations focused on emotional wellness, resilience, and growth.

I help women and men navigate through transitional seasons. As a believer I have had to experience healing myself and understand that it's not easy but necessary in order for one to continue to thrive in their personal and professional lives and in their roles & communities.

Through my work, I create safe spaces where healing, faith, restoration, and meaningful change can take place.

In my spare I like to spend time with family, travel, and dance.

(Accepting New Clients)

I am a counselor who believes life is a melody, filled with different rhythms, seasons, highs, lows, and moments that shape who we are. Sometimes life feels harmonious, while other times it can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or emotionally heavy. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, find balance within their lives, and create space for healing, growth, and self-discovery in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to them.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and Gerontology. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in psychodynamic counseling, where I explore how life experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns can influence present-day challenges. At the same time, I understand that every client’s needs are unique, so thoughtfully integrate approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and relational interventions in ways that are personalized to support each individual’s journey.

My approach to therapy is warm, conversational, and relational. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable showing up as themselves without fear of judgment. I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and groups navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, emotional stress, life transitions, communication difficulties, and personal growth. I also enjoy helping clients increase emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, build healthier relationships, and better understand patterns that may be impacting their lives.

My faith is an important part of who I am and serves as a foundation for compassion, grace, hope, and human connection. While I honor and respect every client’s beliefs and background, I believe healing often begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I welcome the opportunity to incorporate faith-based perspectives and Christian principles into the therapeutic process in a way that feels supportive and aligned with their values.

I believe therapy is not about perfection; it is about becoming more connected to yourself, your story, and the life you desire to create. Whether you are navigating a difficult season, processing past experiences, strengthening relationships, or simply seeking a safe space to breathe and grow, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, wholeness, and emotional wellness one step at a time.
