Parent Support
We’ll work together to set the stage for your child’s success with strategies to support progress at home. Using the Nurtured Heart Approach®, you’ll learn to manage difficult behaviors, build on your child’s strengths, and provide clear structure.
Most families begin here.
Therapy for Kids and Teens
Individual therapy sessions are tailored to your child’s needs and goals.
Depending on the issue being addressed, our meetings may include elements of play therapy, skills training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I bring in mindfulness, movement, and creative arts as appropriate.
Younger children often express themselves best and build coping skills through play-based activities.
For my older clients, I serve as a compassionate listener and sounding board to help them navigate adolescence with authenticity and integrity. Together, we explore feelings, practice new ways to cope, and build confidence in their strengths.
Family Therapy
After establishing a solid foundation with supportive parenting strategies and building skills and capacity through individual work, we may meet together in family sessions to improve communication, strengthen relationships, recognize successes, and consolidate gains.
I do not provide crisis or emergency services. If you or your child are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Travis County Integral Care’s 24/7 Helpline is 512-472-HELP (512-472-4357). The national crisis hotline is 988.
I do not provide custody, divorce, or court-related services outside of a separate and defined role for formal alternative dispute resolution. While divorce is not a focus area for my therapy practice, I do work with families navigating divorce as a collaborative process facilitator, a service available only through engagement by collaborative attorneys.
