Art Therapy in Lewisville, TX

I focus primarily on helping children and teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, relationship challenges, trauma, and low self esteem. I am also trained in EMDR. I hope to help your children and teens normalize the emotions they feel while also helping them learn coping strategies and alternative methods to overcoming difficulties. I strive to form individual connections so they recognize they are supported, heard, and feel safe. One of my priorities is ensuring that you, as parents, are involved and supported through the therapeutic process of your children.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, couples and families in all levels of behavioral health. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings - residential, acute/inpatient, intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization, & outpatient. Through the use of individual, family, and group therapies, I utilize a strengths based and individualized approach. Each person is a unique individual and I focus on meeting you where you are.

My ideal client is between the ages of 4 and 18 who is struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or mood disorders. Children and adolescents need a safe space to express their emotions and develop coping strategies in order to reduce symptoms, improve functioning in daily life, and achieve long-term emotional well-being. I also love working with families who want to be involved in the therapeutic process. I am a big believer that most of the work is done in between sessions, and I am here to help you and your family find something that works best for you.

Children and adolescents often struggle with the same difficult feelings and emotions that adults do, but they have limited ways of expressing themselves. Similarly, parents can find themselves at a loss to reach their child, often leading to stress, anxiety, and disconnection. I have spent years working with children, teens, and their families in order to create healthy coping skills and foster healing, growth, and connection. I am passionate about helping children reach their full potential in a safe environment to explore their thoughts and feelings and develop necessary skills to thrive.

The treatment of mental health is always advancing, and I believe in evidence-based treatment.

I am a nationally-recognized bilingual licensed professional counselor who specializes in healing depression and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, building self-worth and self-esteem, developing social skills, resolving adolescent behavior concerns, and helping overcome pornography and addictions.

As we are all exposed to the elements of life unexpectedly, I strive to help secure an anchor of hope, and bring support and understanding to your personal journey.

Since the days of pigtails, I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world. This gnawing passion has led me to study the power of the mind and how to create what our souls truly desire. I’ve been blessed to study ancient technologies such as yoga and breathwork and am so passionate about sharing simple tools to effect real change. I was trained in counseling at University of North Texas, receiving my Masters in Education. My favorite courses were transpersonal counseling and stress reduction through movement.

Stress? Overwhelmed? Chaos at home? Addiction? Disordered eating? I enjoy working with individuals, families, and groups!

Taking a step to take care of yourself and work through hard things can be scary. I believe together we can work as a team to take you where you are ready to go. Offering empathy, acceptance, and a safe space for us to figure out your next step, together we can move forward. Humans are born trying their best and doing what they can to get by with the life they were given. It is because of humans’ innate sense to strive towards the good, that together we can use these same tools you have had all along to help you get to a place where you can thrive. I believe that I can be the person to help get you to that spot.
