Greetings,
You have taken the first step in taking control of your life. That is a brave thing to do indeed. Identifying and acknowledging the problem is great and I will be honored to walk with you through this process. My name is Norma and I am ready to get started.
I am born and raised in Rhode Island and have close ties to Bermuda. I currently live in Texas and have been an LPC for 23 years. I have worked with individuals and groups with free standing offices and local psychiatric facilities. I enjoy working with depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, women's issues, communication problems and eating disorders. To give more credence to the eating disorder specialist, I am also a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist.
I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, drawing on a variety of modalities to best serve a client’s needs and goals. The modalities that have proven most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, Narrative therapy and psychodrama (gestalt) therapy.
Finally, I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work. I hope that my information will help you select the best person for you. I look forward to our journey to positive mental health.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s the greatest therapist I’ve ever had
Norma Norma Norma, Thank you so much for just guiding us along during this difficult time in our marriage- we are so forever greatful. Norma was patient, kind, understanding but also direct in a way that was not threatening. She is wise and had a great way of breaking down our walls to better communicate with her and each other. She is a wonderful leader and anyone is lucky to have her as a therapist.
