Know About Therapist

Our Counseling & Therapy Services

We offer a range of dedicated therapeutic services designed to support children, teens, and adults in building emotional strength, resilience, and healthy relationships.

Play Therapy (Ages 3–9)

Play Therapy as defined by the Association for Play Therapy (APT) is “the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process.

Tween Support

Tweens are in a developmental stage that can feel confusing — physically, emotionally, and socially — and sometimes overlooked because they are not quite children and not yet teens.

Teen Counseling

Adolescence brings rapid change — emotionally, socially, and academically — and teens may struggle to make sense of it all.

Adult Counseling

Adult counseling offers a collaborative and compassionate environment for individuals seeking support with life stressors, emotional concerns, relationships, transitions, or personal development.

Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)

Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) is a structured 10-week program designed to help parents better understand and connect with their child through therapeutic play and skill-building.

Telehealth Services

I am currently licensed in Texas, Colorado, and Washington and able to provide telehealth counseling services to residents of those states, regardless of your location within them.

Compassionate Support for Life’s Most Sensitive Experiences

In addition to our core counseling services, we provide specialized support for individuals and families navigating deeply personal and complex life experiences. Each service is delivered with empathy, professionalism, and respect for your unique journey.

Infertility & Pregnancy Loss Support

Many individuals and couples facing infertility or pregnancy loss feel misunderstood, isolated, or overwhelmed.

Military & Veteran Family Support

Military and veteran families face experiences and stressors that can be difficult to fully understand without living them.

Parenting Support & Training

Parenting is rewarding — but it can also be challenging. Our parenting support and training services give caregivers practical tools, insight, and encouragement to navigate behavioral concerns

Thoughtful, Relationship-Based, and Developmentally Appropriate Care

We believe that meaningful change begins with connection. Our therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued.

For children, play is their natural language. Through evidence-based play therapy techniques, we help children express emotions, process experiences, and build healthy coping skills.

For teens and adults, therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. We work together to increase insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.

We also believe that caregivers play an essential role in a child’s healing journey. Parent collaboration and guidance are integrated into the therapeutic process whenever appropriate.

Safe & Supportive Environment

A space where clients can openly express thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Individualized Care

Each treatment plan is tailored to the unique needs, strengths, and goals of the client.

Collaborative Process

Therapy is a partnership — working together to foster lasting growth and resilience.
