Hello! Whether you are needing help with the overwhelming process of finding a counselor or are ready to get started I’d love to help. I provide a non-judgemental environment to express your feelings and learn positive coping mechanisms to succeed and gain self-awareness providing self growth. I earned my doctorate degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce where I received specialty training in Play Therapy, Activity Therapy, Child-Adolescent-Adult Therapy, Group Therapy, and Family Counseling. I specialize in working with children through adults in helping them grow through mental health issues and life changes.
All parents struggle sometimes but some parenting journeys can be especially difficult. If you are parenting a child who has special needs you may be feeling worn down from the constant challenges. You probably find that typical parents don’t understand. They can’t get the constant anxiety, the trouble sleeping, the depression or flashbacks. You know it’s real though and it's impacting every area of your life. If this is you, you are not alone and there is hope. Join me as we meet online weekly for 8 weeks to heal the wounds from this journey.
You knew parenting would be hard but never guessed it would look like this.
Parents come to me looking for a therapist who will give them the space to work through depression, anxiety and trauma because therapy should be a place where you can be honest about how much it hurts. Sessions with me are focused on your pain and struggles, not strategies for being a better parent. We take the time to let you breathe and heal.
First Time Fathers class is a safe space for asking questions and expressing anxieties you might be uncomfortable bringing up to your partner; It's also a great layer of defense against becoming a stereotypical, as-seen-on-TV, bumbling doofus dad, which you might (justifiably) fear far more than tantrums and diaper blowouts.

Parenting Support Groups
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
