EMDR-Trained for Children
About Me
I specialize in working with children and families, and I’m passionate about creating a space where young clients feel safe, heard, and empowered. In today’s world, kids are navigating more than ever—school pressure, shifting friendships, social media, and fast-paced routines. It’s no wonder they often feel overwhelmed or act out in ways that don’t quite make sense to adults.
As parents, we’re quick to address physical health or academic concerns, but emotional and social challenges deserve the same care and attention. I believe that every child has the capacity to thrive with the right support and a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each child’s unique needs. I meet kids exactly where they are—without judgment and always with compassion.
How I Work
I use a range of child-focused and evidence-based approaches to support emotional expression, self-regulation, and resilience. My foundation is in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows children to lead the therapeutic process through play—a language they know best.
I also integrate directive modalities, such as sand tray therapy and expressive arts, to help children explore emotions creatively and safely. With older children and teens, I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach practical coping skills and increase self-awareness.
I am EMDR-trained for children, offering a developmentally appropriate approach for healing trauma and difficult experiences. Throughout the process, I partner closely with parents to ensure that therapy supports your child’s progress at home, school, and beyond.

Credentials and Experience
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Baylor University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the CACREP-accredited program at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
My background includes experience in private practice, schools, and shelters, and I’ve led social skills groups for elementary-aged children, helping kids build confidence, connection, and communication skills.
Outside the Office
When I’m not in session, I love spending time with my husband, our son and daughter, and our very curious cat. As a family, we love to travel, explore new places, and try as many local restaurants as possible.
Closer to home, I’m an avid foodie and love discovering Houston’s diverse dining scene. I also enjoy kickboxing, skiing, visiting farmers markets, and catching ‘90s alternative music shows whenever I get the chance.
