Child Therapists in Magnolia, TX
Both child-centered play therapy and client centered psychodynamic therapy support your intrapsychic need to be known and valued by a trusted other.
There are basic truths of human psychology that most people understand intuitively. We do not fully know ourselves; the things we do not know can cause suffering. There is a benefit to self-awareness. I will support you as you develop your innate capacity to be with your own life, just as it is, and assist as you develop more effective strategies for living joyfully and with compassion for yourself as well as others. As we bring together your sense of yourself in past, present and future states, feelings of organization and coherence develop. Choice is restored.

I support individuals through hands-on experience-based therapies including play therapy for children of all ages.
Over 20 years of experience working with children and families in education and ministry. My counseling philosophy is rooted in the belief that when an individual feels safe and seen, they are secure enough to share the deepest and most meaningful stories in their life journey. My therapeutic goal is for every child, teen, parent, and adult I meet to know they have been seen, at the very core of their being. By core, I mean the part of us that makes us who we are in heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit.
