As a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), and a graduate from The Dallas Art Therapy Institute's rigorous post-master's program, and with thousands of hours in continuing education, I have the tools to help children and their families to heal.
I am a pediatric psychotherapist with many years of experience working with children who show that they are not functioning well at home and school with "negative" behaviors or anxiety. Outbursts of anger, sadness, and fear, not following directions, arguing, and crying make life difficult for the family and the child. I help the child to understand themselves and help teach them how to function to the best of their ability. I guide and support parents to manage the behaviors and bring about family harmony. I enjoy helping a child to gain self-esteem and the "I Can Do It" attitude.

Through the use of mindfulness strategies, EMDR, DBT, CBT, as well as art, play, and sand tray modalities, I am able to help my clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and increase their experience of calm, connection, and clarity.
My clients often come to counseling feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and irritated by everyday interactions. Children and teens may have increased conflict at school or home, decreased motivation, lack of engagement, or avoiding activities that were previously enjoyable. They may be feeling sad or empty, and may have thoughts of suicide. Parents may be feeling confused and helpless watching their children struggle to manage daily life.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
