I work with children, teens, parents, and adults in our North Fort Worth office.
Navigating emotions such as anxiety and depression is challenging for everyone, from parents supporting their children to adolescents and young adults managing their own pressures. School stress, work demands, and personal struggles can feel overwhelming at any age. Parents may feel heartbroken seeing their children struggle, while teens and young adults face the tough task of balancing mental health with daily pressures. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, but seeking help and understanding these challenges can lead to a more hopeful path forward. It's okay to ask for support. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

Having a child or teen who is struggling emotionally or behaviorally creates a sense of powerlessness for parents.
My practice focuses on treating children and teens with depression, anxiety, attachment issues, eating disorders, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity, and behavioral disorders. Play therapy is my primary tool to help children cope with issues as they grow and develop. Although the child is my client, I work to provide education and support to parents, as the child's primary support system.

I have experience working with clients of all ages, but primarily working with ages 3 to 12, implementing Child-Centered Play Therapy techniques, where my goal is to provide a consistent therapeutic environment in which a child can experience full acceptance, empathy and support.
Does your child struggle with big emotions and challenging behaviors? Or perhaps you notice your teen struggling with stress or symptoms of anxiety? Do you wonder how you can help your child more with their struggles? Now more than ever, parents are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to help their kids learn how to cope with life's challenges. We believe it shouldn't be so hard to get your child, teen, (or you) help.

I have experience working with children (ages 2-18) and adults I don't believe that one approach fits all, therefore as I get to know you and your goals, we will decide which approach feels most natural for you.
Are you struggling with work, relationships, and/or parenting concerns? Does your child struggle at home, childcare, and/or school? My belief is we do the best we can with what we know. I believe there is a need behind behaviors and once that need is identified and addressed, new behaviors can develop. We need a space that we can be heard, validated, and learn new ways to tackle difficulties in our lives. I specialize in working with children and their families to reduce problematic behaviors such as aggression, anxiety, depression, and social concerns.

If your child is having a difficult time with the change in their family dynamics, I provide a safe space to help adolescents process their emotions, sometimes with art! My hope is to help your family recover, repair and thrive.
Has your family experienced divorce, remarriage, or trauma? Is your family struggling through the transition? Sometimes we have expectations of what we want our family to look like and it does not work out that way. Our expectations can create stress when they do not match our reality. Let me provide a safe space for you and your family to talk about your challenges. Then we can explore your expectations, and create new ones.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Keller, TX provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Keller build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
