Hello!

I welcome children and adolescents into a space that feels safe, comforting, and empathetic as we work together to navigate the hardships of life. 

I have been honored to work with children and adolescents in many settings - both individually and in groups - including at an Autism clinic, through assessment here at The Conative Group, and at a middle school, where I completed hundreds of hours toward my practicum.

Though I use an overall eclectic approach to care, I usually blend elements of Person-Centered Therapy with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a way that is youth-friendly. Often, I utilize the language of creativity - such as through crafts and activities - to facilitate learning and self-expression. My areas of specialty include general and social anxiety, depression, ADHD management, and coping skills building.

A recent graduate of The University of Houston - Clear Lake, I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and prior, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The University of Houston Main Campus.  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, supervised by Dr. Anna Garcia, PhD, MPhil, MS, LPC-S, CSC.

I look forward to working with you!
