WORK WITH ME

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Texas, Virginia, and Utah. I have received thorough training in play therapy for kids and adolescents and I specialize in working with children as young as 3 years. I focus on using play and art therapy methods to help my clients process through life events.

I focus primarily on helping children and teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, relationship challenges, trauma, and low self esteem. I am passionate about helping children and teens normalize the emotions they feel while also helping them learn coping strategies and alternative methods to overcoming difficulties. I strive to form connections so that each client I see recognizes they are supported, heard, and feel safe.

Therapy Services

Individual Therapy

Individual psychotherapy is a powerful tool for growth and healing. There are many different approaches to individual psychotherapy that I use, including: EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and more. Each approach is designed to help a client gain insight, develop coping skills, and make positive changes in their lives. I strive to ensure that each client I see recognizes they are supported and heard. Individual therapy can help people overcome a wide range of issues like:

Anxiety
Depression
ADHD
Autism
Stress management
Self esteem/Body dysmorphia
Trauma
Attachment issues
Behavioral problems
Emotion regulation

Individual therapy is a one-on-one 50 minute session. I offer individual sessions from ages 3-100. I look forward to meeting you and providing a safe place to discuss, feel, and heal at your own pace.

Play Therapy

Play therapy uses play as a means of communication and expression for children. It is a research-based approach that is designed to help children work through emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties. Play therapy is typically used best for children ages 3-12, but can also be used with adolescents and adults.

The play therapist works to create a safe and nurturing environment for the child to explore and express their feelings through play. These sessions will take place in a playroom that is equipped with toys, art supplies, and other materials that can facilitate creative expression. The therapist will observe the child's play and use techniques to help the child process emotions and experiences. This can include using puppets, sand tray therapy, art therapy, storytelling, and other forms of play that encourage emotional expression.

The goal of play therapy is to help your children develop emotion regulation, coping skills, and social skills. Through the safe environment, play therapy can help your child build resilience, increase self-esteem, and improve overall well-being. Play therapy is beneficial for a range of issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, autism and ADHD, behavioral issues, and family conflict.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on improving a relationship between two people. The goal is to really help couples understand each other and their conflicts, communicate more effectively, and build an all around stronger and healthier relationship. Through the help of the therapist, a couple will identify underlying issues in the relationship and find ways to address and resolve the problems.

Couples therapy can be very helpful for partnerships that are struggling with communication, trust issues, infidelity, parenting and family conflicts, disconnection, codependency, and more. With the guidance of the therapist, couples can learn to improve their relationship and build a stronger, more fulfilling partnership. Every relationship has problems and every relationship takes work. Let's work together to create a partnership that is fulfilling for both parties.

In couples therapy, we will work as a team to identify goals and plans to achieve these goals. We will gather information and determine both strengths and weaknesses in the partnership and will come up with plans to improve overall connection and communication.

Fee Agreements

Therapy sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes. 50 minutes will be spent with the client and the final 10 minutes will be used by the clinician for documentation. Payment will be done through a credit card placed on file during the intake process. My fee is $175 per session and payment will need to be completed at the time of session. I offer a sliding scale based on financial situation and need. Please reach out to met personally to discuss flexibility of rates.

If a third-party will be paying for sessions, we will complete additional forms stating that they will be responsible for the payment of therapeutic services.

If you are unable to attend a scheduled appointment at least 24 hours notice is required. If there is not 24 hours notice, you will be billed for the missed appointment unless there is an emergent situation.

While I am not currently paneled with any insurance companies, I am able to give a monthly super-bill statement with charges that can be submitted to your insurance company.

I do not serve as a witness or provide testimony at court hearings.
