Parenting Therapists in Pinehurst, TX

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.

I am a Licensed School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. As a parent, former educator, and counselor I have a unique perspective on the challenges that teens and young adults (and their parents) face as they transition from childhood to adulthood. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Equine Assisted, and Person-Centered interventions I work to provide a safe space for patients to explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

Parents invested in their child's well-being, seeking support for children's challenges like ADHD, depression, or anxiety is a population I specialize in. Additionally, adults facing their own mental health struggles find solace here. I offer tailored therapy for teens and adults, alongside parent consultations. My holistic approach fosters secure attachments, promotes family harmony, and supports individual growth and healing.

I provide coaching and consulting services to young adults and college students with ADHD/ADD and Executive Function challenges. As your coach I will partner with you to provide accountability, encouragement and skills to help you move forward with your goals. Coaching helps with focus, motivation, time management, study skills and organization. As an added bonus of coaching, clients often see an increase in confidence and self-esteem. If you are feeling stuck, frustrated or overwhelmed, then coaching can help you!

I specialize in ADHD and Tourette Syndrome, and also have experience with anxiety, depression, parenting, infertility, grief, and social skills. The pressures of life can be overwhelming and can lead to unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I help individuals set reasonable expectations and develop specific strategies to attain their personal goals. I also provide guidance and assistance to help families learn how to collaborate and work effectively with schools when seeking special education services. I have been married for 19 years and experienced the challenges and blessings of two teenage sons with special needs.

Are you finding this season of parenthood harder than you expected? Maybe you are trying to find your stride with parenting, experiencing challenges in balancing parenthood with all of your other life roles, or managing the mental load of parenting a kid who needs extra support. In these circumstances, we can find ourselves experiencing fear, shame, and guilt in ways that interfere with our wellbeing as parents. But with support and time, we can find our joy, rhythm and wisdom as parents.

As a parent you wake up each day hoping that your kids are going to have an amazing day. You are stressed out with worry about how your kids will act today. You worry all the time about whether or not you are "parenting" the right way. You just want your family to be happy and healthy. Ultimately you want to have a strong connection with your kids.

What are you looking for in a counselor? Someone who "gets it?" Someone who might have walked in your shoes? I too have faced adversity. I myself am "un-married"; a term I coined after my own divorce. I carried my mother through the dementia years and eventual death of my father. Most importantly to me, as a single mother, I led my children through my middle child's 3 years of ALL Leukemia cancer treatment. Life experience? Anxiety? Stress? I can check those boxes. What adversities are you facing? Don't feel you must walk alone.

Now taking Aetna and Cigna. Taking new adults, teens, and kids now! Are you or your child feeling like there are no choices and you are just swept along by the current? Do you often feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and you don't know where to start or which direction to go? Does low mood sometimes leave you feeling like you have nothing left to give? Does your anger bubble over and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Living with anxiety, depression, stress, or resentment can feel unbearable. You don't have to merely "survive" life though. You can live in, direct, and thrive in your life again or for the first time.

When you want to feel understood, not judged or shamed and are ready to unpack some difficult feelings and concerns give me a call, text or email to schedule. Therapy works well. Let’s talk! If you are ready to embrace healthy ways to handle stress and anxiety, learn ways to strengthen your couples communication, cope with parenting struggles, and/or your child’s behavior give me a call or text anytime 281-536-9223. I look forward to meeting you. Saturday and evening appointment times are available.
