I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. As a therapist, I see my role as a collaborative facilitator of change. I believe that people are relational beings with physical, spiritual, emotional, and social components. The exploration these aspects can be life changing and enhancing. In addition, I seek to connect all facets of a person's world (the family they grew up in, their gender, faith, culture, education, age, etc.)

I’m a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Houston, Texas with extensive experience in mental health treatment across diverse populations, especially ethnicity, gender, age, religious, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status. My journey in the mental health field began during my undergraduate studies, where I first became involved in victim advocacy. This experience deepened my understanding of social dynamics, (in)justice and human behavior, leading to dual bachelor’s degrees in Sociology and Women’s Studies. While pursuing my graduate degree, I worked at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, further honing my skills in crisis intervention and critical thinking/problem-solving . After earning a Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin, I completed a post-graduate fellowship focused on psychiatric rehabilitation of veterans with severe mental illness. I further advanced my clinical skills when joining The Menninger Clinic staff, where I spent five years specializing in the treatment of business professionals facing mental health crises, young adults navigating the transition into adulthood, and clients experiencing severe mental health challenges, including suicidal ideation. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, after recognizing the urgent need for increased access to mental health care I established my private practice, Therapy by Ivy, PLLC. Since then I have offered individual telehealth sessions to adult clients seeking to improve their mental health and enhance their lives. In 2023, I expanded my practice to include in-person sessions while continuing to provide telehealth sessions. Based in the Houston Heights area, I am proud to offer flexible session options, accept most major insurance plans, and self-pay sliding fee for the uninsured or underinsured.

I began my career in social work after having two sons with Autism and witnessing firsthand the challenges and injustices families can face. This inspired me to help others feel supported and to ensure they have someone in their corner rooting for them. I became a mental health provider because I am passionate about helping people regain their lives, find hope for better days, and overcome difficult situations and traumatic events. Life can have ups and downs, and it’s okay to ask for help and say, “this is hard.” I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training. I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have been practicing in social work since 2006. My experience spans medical social work, counseling, and mental health, and I primarily work with adults navigating life transitions, difficult stressors (work, family, or medical), chronic health conditions, and pain. I believe that wellness is holistic — we do not get sick one way or get well one way. I am committed to supporting you in your mental health journey while also helping you access the medical care you may need to achieve overall well-being.

After graduating from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a Micro Social Work concentration, followed by passing the Texas state board exam granting me a license to practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

My first post graduation position was Director of Child & Adolescent Unit at Intracare Psychiatric Hospital, followed by Director of Adoption Access, then Lead Therapist at St. Joseph's Hospital Adult Unit, and other agency and hospital positions scanning a 20 year period.

Hi there! I am glad we have crossed paths, and am here to help you navigate through life's challenges. Maybe you're dealing with relationship issues, a life transition, self-esteem issues, grief & loss, or simply trying to find yourself. If you're feeling confused and overwhelmed with emotion, deciding to meet with a therapist can be the first step toward relief. I have over 15 years of experience helping people find answers to the difficulties they face. I believe you are the expert as it relates to your symptoms and your life experiences. My role is to collaborate with you, offer guidance and insight, and work together with you toward your goals. Ultimately, I feel it is most important that there is a strong rapport between you and me, and that you feel comfortable in an easygoing, non-judgmental atmosphere.

I’m a warm, direct, humorous, and creative therapist who helps adults understand their emotional patterns and build tools that support meaningful change. My background includes work in schools, hospitals, crisis services, and community‑based care, which shapes the grounded and practical way I show up in session. I focus on helping clients make sense of what’s happening in their mind and body so they can move through life with more clarity, confidence, and alignment.

You don’t have to face your thoughts and emotions alone. A peaceful life is possible, regardless of your circumstances. We’re often troubled more by our perceptions than by reality itself. Sometimes, our thoughts—not our situation—are the scariest part. Even when life gets hard, how we see things shapes how we feel and how much we suffer. As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I offer tools that are evidence-based and proven effective—both in research and in my own work with clients. By shifting our thoughts and behaviors, we can transform every part of our lives and relationships. We don’t have to be prisoners to unhelpful thoughts; we have ways to work through them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, relationship struggles, and more. I’d be honored to support you in creating meaningful change.

Whatever obstacles and struggles someone may be going through in life, I consider it a privilege to help them cope. I understand that the clients I see are entrusting me to give them the right resources to guide them down a new path, with a new perspective, so they can achieve their own goals. With a healthy balance of listening, guiding, and even learning, I take pride in using my own experience and resources to help people really start off on the right foot on that path. Whether you, or someone you know struggles with something like anxiety, or simply wants a different outlook on their life, it’s something to work through together, and by setting up an intake, we can get started.

My focus is reconciliation. Healing is often achieved through us becoming reconciled with self and/or others. It can be a process that allows us to identify and modify our thoughts and behaviors. We are all a work in progress and rightly so as circumstances are constantly changing. I believe that each person should have an opportunity to express themselves in a safe, nurturing, judgement free zone.
