Congratulations on taking this huge step for yourself, or your child.
Have you or your child experienced something terrifying? Or perhaps there's not one harrowing memory that stands out, but a lifetime of painful experiences. Other times, children, teens, and adults may struggle with anxiety or worries that they can't trace back to any particular event. My practice offers a haven when life feels out of control and provides support for adults and children to heal from anxiety and trauma. I see Houston-based clients in person and via telehealth, and am credentialed through PSYPACT to provide telehealth to clients in 20+ other states.

Have you ever gone to a different country and not understood their native language? How difficult was it for you to get what you needed? Imagine you are a child, wanting to tell you what they are going through but cannot tell you in words. Play therapy is a language a child utilizes to express what cannot be vocalized. I am Whitney, trained to interpret this language to help you get the ease you need as a parent. You are a good parent, you are here; looking to do all you can for her child. Give me a call!

My initial doctoral training began in child development and early childhood education, and I was on the faculty at the University of Houston in the Human Development Department for a number of years.
My area of specialization focuses on looking at problems in relationships through the lens of one's own attachment history to try to understand why one feels and responds in current relationships in ways that are not productive. I also specialize in working with children to help them learn to emotionally regulate themselves so that they are able to function in a variety of social and educational situations. My work with parents helps them come to better understand their child as a unique person so as parents they can feel effective & have a close relationship with their child.

For more than 10 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and couples in churches, schools and private practice.
So many people bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it” or “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” when the unexpected happens or we lose control of situations and ourselves. Not only does this usually make us feel worse and/or not heard, we usually do not know what those sayings even mean. I’m sure people typically mean well when using these phrases, however, we need practical remedies to the “cards we were dealt” in our personal lives. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.
