About Me
Nurturing Roots Play Therapy
I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with a National Counselor Certification. I work with children, teens, and young adults. Through personalized strategies and engaging activities, I empower each client to develop essential skills for better social interactions and emotional regulation. ​
​
I received my Bachelor's in Psychology and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Tarleton State University. My career in the field began in private practice and various school settings. In 2025, I became a Registered Play Therapist through the Association for Play Therapy.
​
I had the privilege of having an inspiring supervisor, Dr. Pedro Blanco, who supervised me for many years and is now a consultant to guide and support my professional development.
​​
I practice from a client-centered approach where I allow my clients to lead their sessions. This approach helps fulfill my clients' potential and help them become the best they can be. ​​I have witnessed incredible bravery, compassion, and trust throughout my clients' journeys. ​
​​​
In my down time, I cherish the time I have with my husband, three daughters, grandbaby, and our Aussie. We enjoy traveling, outdoor hiking, and biking.

I specialize working with children who experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, developmental delays, and behavioral challenges.
​
In addition, I work with teenagers that experience academic stress, social peer pressure, identity exploration, self-esteem struggles, bullying, and family dynamics.
​
With young adults, I work alongside them as they navigate life transitions, family dynamics, cultural struggles, and generational traumas.
