Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to be here. I'm a licensed & board certified counselor-associate in the state of Texas. I'm the owner of Playful Minds Psychotherapy. I specialize in Play Therapy & Sand Tray Therapy with children ages 3-12. I also see teens and parents utilizing a combination of client-centered, collaborative conversation, & strengths-based techniques. I help clients learn essential skills to become self-sufficient & well-adjusted individuals in an unpredictable world. Areas that I help my clients improve upon are emotion regulation, communication, grief & loss, trauma, depression, & anxiety.
Building a positive, safe, & therapeutic relationship with each client is my main objective when beginning therapy. I firmly believe that before positive change can occur the client must feel safe and supported. I assist my clients in processing difficult experiences, thoughts, and emotions, and learn how to move forward.
It takes a very brave person to step into therapy, and oftentimes, once one does the benefits are positively life changing. I encourage you to make that first step to find growth & healing for yourself or your child. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I hope to work together soon!
