About

I work with teens and young adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression. My adult clients have the option of virtual or in person sessions. For clients under the age of 18 years, I see them in person only and typically meet with them weekly. Parent sessions (sometimes with the teen and other times w/o teen present) are part of the therapeutic process for my work with all of my teen clients. The parent sessions address ways to support the teen outside of therapy. I see parents approx once a month unless there is something urgent that requires a more immediate session. My sessions are very CBT and ACT oriented. I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and Sandtray Therapist (CCST) and incorporate play, sandtray and creative expression into sessions which my clients (both adolescents and adults) so that clients have both verbal and non-verbal ways of processing their thoughts and feelings. As of August, 2026 I have two locations: 1011 Highway 6 S, Suite 325, Houston, TX 77077 and 950 Echo Lane, Suite 335, Houston, TX 77024.
