Child Therapists in Hurst, TX
Having earned my doctorate with special training in child counseling, I particularly enjoy working with children in play therapy.
I bring a practical, insightful perspective to helping couples in conflict. Seeing the other's viewpoint is both challenging and necessary. My ability to see options helps individuals make better choices in personal situations. A true believer in the value of actively-engaging in life, I see a strong need for play for adults and children. As Executive Director at the Family Counseling Center, I count the variety involved in my job as an asset. In addition to my therapeutic practice, I also teach in our organization's private elementary school and oversee the multiple details of running the organization.

My ideal clients are adults, adolescents, and children who are open to learning about how their thought patterns affect their overall wellbeing. While working together, you can expect to identify negative or unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and ways to alter them and cope healthily. People need to feel heard, seen, and validated, and that happens when a strong therapeutic relationship is built. My experiences in connecting with different people (and myself) through counseling have shown me how impactful creating a safe and therapeutic space for people can be. Because everyone is different, I like to let my clients take the lead.

I believe that each individual has the strength and potential to live the life they have always dreamed of living! I am passionate about working with children and families. I have particular interest in helping stressed families deal with challenges associated with parenting and family dynamics.
I truly believe that individuals know how to solve their own problems, however, they may lack self-confidence, support, or the courage to do so. Anxiety catches us and fear holds us, but we are not destined to live a life without hope!

I have unique experience working children, adults and adolescents who have experienced complex trauma and everyday anxiety/depression.
Seeking therapy is a very brave/positive step, although scary.

Life can be difficult going through adversities alone and sometimes having extra support is needed and that is okay. My purpose is to create a non-judgmental, safe space for you where you feel heard, validated, and most importantly supported. Mental health is a vital part of your well-being and I am honored to have the ability to offer those services.

Holy crap on a cracker being a teenager is hard. Expectations are high. Socials have them constantly comparing to other people. Parents are all up in their business. And Every. Single. Thing. Feels like it's the end of the f&$king world. Or the best thing that's ever happened . Depending on the day. Or hour. Or minute, let's be honest. They can't take one more day of the drama in their friend group. Or their on the precipice of this big change. And it's terrifying AF. Maybe they're working through some identity stuff, or trying to find their place and your people. And it seems impossible. BUT. It doesn't have to be this way.

Life is a journey. Sometimes we encounter things that are out of our control and may feel as if no one else understands. I trust in the human ability to grow, even when faced with obstacles. During times of personal questioning or struggle, I rely on the counseling process to elicit the best forms of self-reflexivity in order to prosper. I believe answers to our problems reside within us. Feelings that result from experiences in life are unique to each person, and they each deserve a partner to work through their difficulties. I have strived to create a warm and supportive environment that will foster your growth.

People should live happier, healthier lives. That is what all people want and deserve. My focus is on helping people achieve ALL of their goals. Everyone goes through tough times. Some people go through them on their own, but sometimes it takes a professional, unbiased perspective to help. People are the result of both nature (inherited traits) and nurture (environment) which form lenses through which we perceive the world. Through life experience, lenses can become scratched or cloudy. Bring the drive to improve and I will provide the experience, empathy, and knowledge. Let's make them clear again, together, as a team!
