In working with young children, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy, and integrate skills from EMDR and IFS to build emotional regulation.
In therapy, I enjoy helping kids and adults try a new approach of care and healing that targets both emotional processing and regulating the nervous system. I partner with parents to help their child improve anxiety, process life transitions, and overcome various behavioral issues. With adults, I help with trauma healing, anxiety, and relational roadblocks such as people-pleasing, social anxiety and codependency. Other areas I focus on include family of origin issues, OCD, and abuse recovery. I've also had the unique opportunity to help families find their new normal after life-altering tragedies.

I work with children through play therapy.
I work with individual adults, couples, families, and children (ages 3 - 10) and together we curate helpful ways to cope with everyday life and relationships. I encourage clients to focus on their inner strengths and make choices that bring them closer to their goals. I believe our thoughts, behaviors, values, and beliefs begin in our early years within our families of origin. These years, along with the life experiences and challenges we encounter along the way serve to shape us. Uncovering how these thoughts and behaviors impact our daily life is an important step toward healing, change, and freedom.

A few areas that I specialize in are Attachment issues, Adoption, Kinship Care, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Parenting, Behavioral Issues in children, and general Trauma.
I believe that everyone needs someone who will give them a safe, non-judgmental place to work through problems or stresses. I see the role of a therapist as someone who dives into the deep end of your emotions/problems and helps guide you on how to swim your way out. I will be there if you start to drown to help keep your head above water, but I will also help you develop the skills to get out of the deep end and know how to navigate it should you end up there again.

You are taking a brave step by seeking help for your child.
Childhood can bring big challenges. Children deal with difficult transitions, feelings of loss and sometimes even traumatic events. Kids need a place where they can process their sadness, frustration and loss in a way that is tailored to the way children think, feel and understand their world. When children are able to process their feelings through play therapy, and their parents are able to support this process at home, the child learns to feel safe again and begins to thrive in his/her own world again. I am new to East Dallas Psychotherapy, I'm excited to join this team that already serves adults & teens by focusing on kids!

The most important aspect of therapy is a trusting relationship in which one feels valued, understood, recognized and seen. I work with people who want to understand the connections between past experiences and patterns in their current lives to have more satisfying relationships. The people I work with want to feel connected to others, repair past relationships, participate in corrective and reparatory experiences, understand their feelings, actions and thoughts, and be at peace with themselves. Many suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, body image or eating, and find themselves in challenging periods of transitions.
