My clinical and testing experiences at Baylor College of Medicine, Quentin Mease General Hospital, and Parkview Adolescent Psychological Services have made me proficient in providing weight and chronic disease related behavioral health treatment, assessing academic placement, identifying personality and dementia related memory disorders, and treating depression and anxiety.
My treatment approach is based on over 10 years of providing testing and treatment services. In every case, my primary treatment goal is to help my clients develop the necessary skills--both thinking and behaving-- to improve their health, academic performance, day-to-day functioning and sense of well-being and self-efficacy.
I do not fix my clients but focus all my efforts toward helping them to fix or better manage their problems themselves. This is done through fostering client strengths.

My focus is on guiding your teen through their journey of self-discovery by equipping them with healthy coping strategies to navigate their complex emotions.
As a parent and therapist, I understand the deep love and concern you have for your child. It's natural to seek guidance when witnessing their struggles, which can be both distressing and frightening. Today's adolescents face challenges that can be overwhelmingly stressful for them and their parents. Many also experience trauma from abuse, bullying, or other adverse events. These challenges create immense stress that can significantly affect a young person's healthy development. If left unattended, these issues may lead to long-term difficulties, limiting their potential.

My areas of interest and continued study are child and adolescent trauma, mood disorders, marriage and adult trauma counseling.
I firmly believe that it is most important to create authentic connections with clients. Real healing only happens when both the client and the counselor can be their real selves. I work to create within therapy a genuine and safe space that is not always easy to find out in the world. I hope to help clients learn to create these safe places for themselves through improved life and relationship skills. My goals are the client’s goals as my client-centered approach leads me to seek a better understanding of the client’s worldview and how it interplays with their daily tasks and interactions with others.

As individuals, we face some of life’s most difficult challenges on a daily basis. Although we are all different in our life perspectives, we all are all similar in that we may need help in recognizing, and addressing the thoughts, challenges, and barriers that we experience. Processing these issues in a safe and non-judgmental environment allows for the space and time needed to reflect and reclaim. I embrace this perspective as a therapist. Previous clients have shared that my “calm presence” has helped them to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences, and that my “deep perspective” helps to drive change.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
