Child Therapists in Selma, TX
Because children do not possess the communication skills that adults do, I use play therapy techniques to allow children to express themselves and communicate at a level that is developmentally appropriate for them.
I am a very energetic and enthusiastic counselor who is passionate about helping CHILDERN/ADOLESCENTS with a variety of issues. I believe that it is important to build a trusting relationship with children and families in order to provide a safe place for them to open up about their struggles and begin making changes in order to heal. I also feel it is essential to encourage and empower my clients by recognizing and utilizing individual strengths. It is my goal to help clients feel comfortable with counseling as well as to facilitate quick changes.

As a mother of grown children and step- children; and someone who has experienced divorce, re-marriage, and step-families both as a child and an adult, I have a real understanding of many of the issues that bring individuals and families into therapy.
Therapy should not be complicated - it's really about sitting down and talking with another person without feeling judged, talked down to, or being told what to do. My goal is to provide safe, nurturing, and effective psychotherapy to adults. I use practical and individually tailored approaches. I strive to create an atmosphere of teamwork that allows clients to educate me about their lives and they changes they want. I am not seeing couples at this time.
