Child Therapists in Katy, TX
I offer play therapy for children and for teens and adults I offer talk therapy and incorporate expressive interventions using art and writing.
We struggle to know where we fit in - at work, at home, in our social circles. Sometimes you wonder if you're really being understood or feel like an outsider in a group of people. Most of us barely make it out alive and are left buried in anxiety about being good enough, our children being bad kids, our friends and family not understanding us, and exasperation as we try to keep the whole family together while navigating the world of judgment.

I started volunteering at the age of 18 at a private practice in summer programs, with children and adolescents.
As human beings, we behave according to what has worked for us in the past. Such behaviors may not necessarily be healthy or positive ones, and that is what brings you in today. This desire to work and get better at doing life in a more positive and healthier manner. Yes, we may encounter ourselves revolving around unhealthy coping skills and not very strong boundaries with those around us which may be what makes us feel in greater need of connection and positivity in our lives. If there is anything that life has taught us, is that we are capable of change, of rebuilding of shaping ourselves into that person you have always desired.

Your child is struggling and hurting, let me help you bring calm to your overwhelm, have a happier and fun-loving child, and a healthy parent/ child relationship.
You're parenting a child with behavior problems and you feel helpless. You have a wildly energetic child who doesn't "turn off", you're getting phone calls from daycare/preschool/school that your child is hitting, biting, being aggressive, or your child has anxiety and having a hard time separating from you. Anxiety, ADHD, and trauma can have lasting impacts on your child and I want to partner with you and your child to explore their feelings, needs, experiences, and thoughts through play therapy by identifying what's underneath their behavior, providing education, and learning applicable tools.

What better time to start this work than in our younger years? I look forward to helping you and/or your child embrace resilience in the face of life's obstacles and to live life in full bloom!.
As a therapist, former school teacher, and mom, I am deeply invested in the emotional well-being of our young people. My greatest goal in counseling is to give children, teens, and young adults the tools to cope with life's challenges as well as the confidence in themselves to know that they can. Struggles with anxiety, depression, negative self-esteem, academic/work pressures, anger, and family/friendship/relationship issues can all seem that much more overwhelming when we are young. I am passionate about helping young people and families manage these issues now, and helping to set them up for success as they grow.
