ADHD Therapists in Manchaca, TX

My approach to therapy is interpersonal and collaborative. I strive to develop a strong therapeutic alliance that will allow us to achieve your treatment goals. I have a strong interest in multicultural issues and working with diverse populations. For me, diversity not only consists of race or ethnicity but also consists of sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, age, and a myriad of other characteristics that make an individual unique. I integrate your personal history (narrative) and solution-focused goals to develop a treatment plan in order to facilitate growth and change you wish to see in your life.

I am a counselor committed to helping both adults, children and adolescents with ADHD . My focus is on helping you to become confident in yourself, as well as learning strategies to manage day to day life while living with ADHD . I believe in taking a collaborative approach in helping clients reach their goals.

As a child and adolescent psychologist, I am committed to helping clients change their lives in positive ways through both individual therapy and comprehensive assessments. With diverse training in evidence-based therapy, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I am well equipped to work with families to meet most presenting concerns. I recognize that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach and therefore adapt each model appropriately to meet the unique strengths and needs of each client.

Throughout my career, I have received extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood and adolescent difficulties including: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD , Specific Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disability, depression, anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have worked with children and adolescents in public schools, foster care, out-patient clinics, and residential treatment centers. I worked as a LSSP in the public schools for three years completing special education evaluations, consultation with teachers, and counseling sessions with students.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, as well as their caregivers. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients and utilizing methods that best fit each individual's needs. I have experience working with individuals dealing with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief & loss, behavioral difficulties and trauma. When working with children I utilize play therapy, an approach that allows children to communicate through their natural language of play. Underlying all techniques is the personal relationship built with clients. In addition to individual therapy, I provide therapy groups for parents using Child Parent Relationship Therapy.
