About me
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.

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.

I wish I got therapy sooner and had more money, I would keep talking to Norma every week if I could.
