I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through life’s emotional and behavioral challenges. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with children experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, school-related stress, self-esteem challenges, and adjustment issues. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play-based interventions, and strengths-focused techniques, I tailor treatment to meet each child’s unique needs and developmental level. I believe therapy works best when children feel comfortable expressing themselves and caregivers feel supported throughout the process. I collaborate closely with families to help build healthy coping skills, improve communication, strengthen emotional resilience, and support positive growth both at home and in school. My goal is to help children develop confidence, emotional awareness, and practical tools they can carry with them long after therapy ends.

I am a therapist who got my start in a Marriage and family counseling practice after graduating with a MABC from Dallas Theological Seminary. I have had extensive experience working within the criminal justice system, women coming out of the sex industry and severe mental health issues including personality disorders, major depression, bipolar I & II, dissociation and severe trauma. I have trained local police departments in mental health orientations and critical incident trainings. I am also a certified resiliency trainer through the FBINAA. I enjoy utilizing psychodynamic and family of origin techniques as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy when I work with families and children. I enjoy serving persons from different cultures. I consider my counseling of you an honor and a privilege and it is my heartfelt desire that you feel better after our session than you do before you see me. My objective is to "reveal the root, and expose the lies" especially behind those issues that trouble teens. I look forward to working with you on your journey to health and wholeness.
