Emotions seem giant and overwhelming? Social situations confusing, anxiety provoking, and exhausting? Feel like you or your child are just different from the norm? These are some of the experiences of neurodiverse individuals. There is a desire to connect with others, yet challenges interfere.

My clients typically find themselves stuck in transition, wanting to get to know themselves more deeply and ready to explore what is coming next on their horizon. I enjoy working with people who may be seeking self-reflection and a brave space where they can reconnect with their personal story and 'spark' for guidance on their journey. I also offer play therapy for children ages 3-10. Play therapy sessions provide an opportunity for kiddos to engage in and practice self-regulation skills, creative problem-solving, improved self-esteem, as well as developing healthy coping habits.

I work with young children, tweens, and teens to build self-awareness, compassion, and healthy communication. Most of the individuals with whom I work suffer with social skills, anxiety, poor self-image, or impulse control concerns. I use a collaborative style of treatment that includes input from the child themselves, the parents, and other health care providers. I believe it is crucial to consider developmental level, motivation, support systems, and current strengths to help build healthier forms of coping.

Child-Centered Play Therapy (ages 3 - 10) provides an opportunity for children to process problems and challenging experiences, just as an adult uses talk therapy with their struggles.
Adolescence is a fascinating and complex time of rapid growth and change. During this transition, life can sometimes be overwhelming and present new challenges. For over 17 years I have been a counselor in the mental health field working with young children and adolescents with a variety of issues. My person-centered approach to counseling integrates a variety of counseling modalities and techniques. Working in a collaborative partnership with parents, my goal is to empower youth and children to discover their inner strengths, build on personal successes and utilize healthy decision-making skills to navigate their life path.

When we are young, we have a vision of what we want our lives to become. We want the best for our children, to have strong positive relationships, be happy, and achieve success. We see ourselves in a job that is fun and fulfilling something we want to do, and a group of friends with which to embark on adventures. Through the ebbs and flows of life, that vision we had when we were young transforms. We encounter obstacles, personal traumas, and life-altering events that significantly impact our well-being. We get caught up in pleasing others, providing for others, and longing for something more.

After obtaining my degree, I started offering therapy to adults and children in the Houston area.
Navigating this world is not easy. We often face pressure from society, work, family, friends, and there never seems to be one, clear answer to our problems. Sometimes, even when we do get advice, it seems contradictory or impossible to follow. We are constantly trying to do better, reach out, and take care of others, but we often forget ourselves in the process. That is where therapy comes in! The best moments, for me, is watching my clients gain insight into their lives, thoughts, and emotions, and help make sense of their experience in a way they have never done before.
