Specialized Therapy for Children, Teens, and Families
When your child is struggling with big, overwhelming behaviors or deep emotional pain, it can feel incredibly isolating for the whole family. I don't shy away from the hard stuff. My clinical expertise is rooted in helping youth and families navigate severe challenges safely, authentically, and without judgment.
Teen Anger & Behavioral Challenges (Conduct Disorder & ODD)
If your home feels like a constant battlefield, you are not alone. Defiance isn't just "being a teenager"—it's often a mask for deep, unprocessed pain. You might be seeing things like slammed doors, explosive arguments over the smallest requests, a complete refusal to follow house rules, or a constant, simmering hostility that leaves everyone walking on eggshells. If your teen is acting out this severely, they aren't "bad" kids; they are hurting. We work on getting to the root of that explosive anger, teaching real-world emotional regulation skills, and rebuilding the bridge of communication between you and your teen.
Suicidal Ideation & Self-Harm
Navigating a child's thoughts of suicide or self-harm is every parent's greatest fear. Sometimes the signs are loud, but often they are quietly heartbreaking. You might notice them wearing long sleeves and hoodies in the Texas heat to hide cuts, completely isolating themselves in their bedroom, suddenly dropping their favorite hobbies, or saying heavy things like, "Everyone would be better off without me." You do not have to carry this terrifying weight alone. I provide a secure, compassionate space for your child to process their deepest emotional pain, while providing you with the structured safety planning and support needed to protect them.
Severe Trauma & PTSD
Trauma changes how a child views the world and themselves, and it shows up in unexpected ways. You might notice your child is constantly on edge and easily startled, struggling with severe nightmares, suddenly acting much younger than their age, or having intense, unexplained panic reactions to everyday situations. Their trauma doesn't have to define their future. Together, we will safely process those past experiences and unbury the wounds, allowing your child to reclaim their sense of safety, trust, and authentic self.

My Approach to Healing
To help your child navigate these heavy challenges, I use a blend of evidence-based and holistic approaches tailored to how kids and teens actually process their pain. Depending on your family's unique needs, our sessions may include:
CBT & DBT: Providing practical tools to manage explosive emotions, tolerate severe distress, and rewire negative thought patterns.
Play Therapy & IFS-Informed Care: Using play, creativity, and parts work to help children and teens safely express and process complex trauma when they don't have the words.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Teaching powerful grounding techniques to calm the nervous system and reduce intense anxiety.
Faith-Based Counseling: For clients who wish to incorporate their spiritual beliefs, we can integrate faith as a foundation for healing and resilience.
Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed; it means the damage no longer controls our lives
