You're tired, frustrated and just want peace at home! What works for one of your children doesn't work for the other and that's frustrating. Wish your teen girl came with an instruction manual? Your teen seems lonely, withdrawn, struggling with social issues, or can't control their anger and you feel hopeless because you don't know what to do to help. As parents we want our children to be healthy and happy yet sometimes we can't fix the situation for them and that makes us feel a failure as a parent.

I specialize in work with children and adolescents, and also in healing of trauma for children, adolescents, and adults.
When working with clients, I join them in their journey, walking alongside for the time we are working together. I believe the human person is made good, made for relationship, and that fullness of life is found in being able to be a gift to another. I believe life can be hard sometimes, and this can hinder our ability to have what we hope for in relationships. In therapy, I work with clients to resolve the concerns that prevent them from achieving the goals they have for their lives; with a focus on the healing of past experiences of trauma. I consider it an honor and privilege to serve my clients.

When trauma impacts one member of a family, the ripple effects impact everyone. I believe that the best way to help children and adolescents heal is to work together with parents and caregivers to provide tools and resources for strengthening connection and encouraging positive coping.

Not sure where to go or what to do, but something needs to change? Your child comes home with misconduct reports from school and nothing you try is helping. Your teen is struggling with peers, depression or anxiety and you want to know how to help. Maybe you are not a parent and life’s challenges have become overwhelming and difficult to face. Stop and take a deep breath. Life isn’t easy and the challenges can be difficult to navigate. Parents become overwhelmed and frustrated when they feel like they cannot help their children cope. Children can struggle socially and emotionally and as parents we don’t always have the answers.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children.
I believe a good counselor works their way out of a job...one client at a time. We all get "stuck" in life from time to time. My goal is to provide you with knowledge, tools, guidance, and support so that you can get "unstuck" and move on. Therapy is not magic...but it works. If you are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational problems I would like the opportunity to visit with you to see if I can help.

I have helped individuals, children, teens, and families find healing and hope in the rainiest of life’s storms.
Trauma can make it feel like there’s a constant rain cloud following you around, impacting your relationships, sleep, work, and outlook on life. You might feel like you're on a never ending roller coaster and it can be scary to take that first step in meeting someone new to help you find sunnier days and a way off that never ending roller coaster - there is hope. I believe in teamwork and genuine human connection as an essential part of counseling. I hope you’ll take a moment to connect by giving me a call or sending me an email to see how we can work together to find sunnier days.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Tyler, 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 Tyler 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.
