Therapists for Children in Lubbock County, TX
I work with children, teens, and young adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I work collaboratively with clients to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, practical, and trauma-informed, drawing from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and TF-CBT skills.

I have helped children, teens, and adults for over 10 years now heal from complex trauma.
I have administered over 5,000 EMDR sessions and specialize in helping people heal from what they feel they cannot speak to anyone about. Healing on a soul level from things. It’s not always easy to have hope. I've sometimes wondered if that's why "Hope" is my middle name. So I can always have it with me. I am very holistic in my approach and can use EMDR to help you heal without you having to talk in great detail about the stressful things you have endured. You are a survivor and I would love to help you feel like yourself again! I am very laid back in my approach and incorporate humor as well as sour candy in my sessions!
