Child Therapists in Center, TX
Are you unsure about how to help your child? Have you had call after call from the school about your child's behavior or their need for mental health treatment? I am here to help.
As a former educator and school counselor, I have seen an increase in anxiety and depression among youth. Kids and teens are struggling to navigate social pressures, family roles, school expectations, and the wild world of social media. My ideal clients are school aged children, adolescents, and individuals undergoing life transitions. I enjoy working with kids/teens and their families to help foster positive development.

Do you find yourself wishing for better days? Have you lost interest in the things that once brought you joy? Are your basic responsibilities weighing you down? Life doesn't have to be about exhaustion and overwhelm day in and day out. We can work together to improve your current circumstances. I love listening to my client's stories and helping them put the pieces together. At times we may mix conversation with psychoeducation in coping skills, mindfulness, and meditation. Bravely sharing your story in counseling allows you a rare opportunity to be heard without judgment. This is a priceless opportunity to process your experience.

Now taking Aetna and Cigna. Taking new adults, teens, and kids now! Are you or your child feeling like there are no choices and you are just swept along by the current? Do you often feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and you don't know where to start or which direction to go? Does low mood sometimes leave you feeling like you have nothing left to give? Does your anger bubble over and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Living with anxiety, depression, stress, or resentment can feel unbearable. You don't have to merely "survive" life though. You can live in, direct, and thrive in your life again or for the first time.

I believe a good counselor works their way out of a job...one client at a time. We all get "stuck" in life from time to time. My goal is to provide you with knowledge, tools, guidance, and support so that you can get "unstuck" and move on. Therapy is not magic...but it works. If you are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational problems I would like the opportunity to visit with you to see if I can help.

When trauma impacts one member of a family, the ripple effects impact everyone. I believe that the best way to help children and adolescents heal is to work together with parents and caregivers to provide tools and resources for strengthening connection and encouraging positive coping.

I work with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families.
Coming to counseling is one of the bravest things anyone can do, as it requires emotional strength, humility, and determination to make changes in areas that you may be experiencing some frustration. I consider it a great privilege to come alongside others as they navigate through difficult circumstances, and learn how to get from where they currently are, to where they want to be. I am honored to be a part of their journey of self-discovery, as well as the discovery of truth in their lives.

I counsel adults and children who experience symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, and PTSD, as well as those who report suicidal ideation and self-harm.
Life can be difficult—full of struggles, challenges, changes, and the unexpected. We keep these events in our minds, whether at the front to consciously influence all of our decisions, or packed away in a box in a corner, to be dealt with ‘in the future’. When your box begins to overflow or you realize that it is time to open it, I’m here to help you unpack, sort, and re-pack the box. My goal is to help you regain control of the box, so that the box no longer controls you.

Since 1999, I've worked with children from ages 4 through 19 and parents. Kids, teens and families are engulfed with various problems and often find themselves struggling to keep "it altogether". These problems affect everyone's emotions and behaviors. Young people often don't understand their feelings, so don't express them appropriately and/or feel as if no one is listening. It's not long before negative behaviors surface, which negatively impacts all involved. Talking with a nonbiased counselor who listens and helps you to communicate effectively leads you to discovering solutions now and throughout life.

I would love to help navigate you or your child's way to happiness, confidence, tranquility, and the ability to manage stress.
Depression and anxiety can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and scared without even knowing why. Life can be overwhelming with all of the stress that comes from school, family, pressures from friends, not feeling good enough, and the list goes on. Racing thoughts, feelings of loneliness and hopelessness, lack of motivation, and fear of what life is going to throw at us next are just a few common symptoms. However, there is hope for a sense of calmness in the storm. You can get through these challenging experiences with more confidence.

I specialize in work with children and adolescents, and also in healing of trauma for children, adolescents, and adults.
When working with clients, I join them in their journey, walking alongside for the time we are working together. I believe the human person is made good, made for relationship, and that fullness of life is found in being able to be a gift to another. I believe life can be hard sometimes, and this can hinder our ability to have what we hope for in relationships. In therapy, I work with clients to resolve the concerns that prevent them from achieving the goals they have for their lives; with a focus on the healing of past experiences of trauma. I consider it an honor and privilege to serve my clients.
