ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Round Rock, TX

I am a licensed psychologist with over fifteen years of experience providing therapy in both Spanish and English. I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Indiana University and my doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My doctoral program emphasized multicultural competence and using research to inform practice. Therefore, I use an evidence-based, cultural and trauma-informed approach in therapy. I have worked with Veterans, women and men diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, women diagnosed with breast cancer, and individuals experiencing substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I am licensed in the states of Texas and Iowa.

I believe mental health care works best when it feels like a partnership. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and involve you in every step of your treatment plan. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and supported while we work together to find the right tools and strategies to help you feel more stable, confident, and hopeful about the future.

If your child is having big feelings, behavior changes, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, or challenges in relationships, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next. I work with young children, adolescents, and caregivers to help children feel more connected, understood, and supported. My specialty is early childhood mental health, with a focus on children from birth to age 12. I use play therapy, sandtray therapy, EMDR, and parent support to help children process difficult experiences, build emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships at home.

I have spent more than 25 years supporting young children and caregivers in settings focused on development, behavior, attachment, and trauma. Over the past several years, I have also served as a Mental Health Consultant, providing assessment-informed interventions and therapeutic support grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My work is warm, relationship-focused, and developmentally appropriate. My goal is to help children and families feel safe, supported, and able to move toward healing.

Welcome! I am so glad you found me. I am a highly trained therapist who works with children and adolescents ages 3-18 as well as young adults and parents. I received my undergraduate degree from Dallas Baptist University and my Masters in Counseling from the University of North Texas. I am an LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have also worked with foster and adoptive children and their families and I am trauma-informed as well having a broad range of experience in education. I have two therapy dogs who often join me in sessions. George is an experienced helper while Charolette is still a puppy in training. I have been working with children for over 20 years.

I have a depth of experience as a clinical school social worker for over 18 years. Prior to school social work and private practice, I worked in residential treatment, inpatient treatment and juvenile probation. The majority of my 20+ year career has been working with pre-teens, adolescents and their families. I love working with parents as they navigate raising kids!

Most recently, I have been working more with college aged busy moms and professionals. I also love working with high performing athelets.

For the past 16 years I have also supervised Masters level, clinical social work students. I also provide supervision for those working towards their LCSW.

My husband and I are busy raising our three young children. Being a parent is the greatest joy and there is no other role I rather be in.

Being a teenager can feel overwhelming. You might be juggling school, work, relationships, family expectations, and trying to understand who you are—all at the same time. Some days, it can feel like too much. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling lost or disconnected, we can work through it together at your pace. I also help with things like setting boundaries, building self-confidence, navigating identity, and improving your relationship with food and your body.

That inner pressure to be perfect or “have it all together” can be exhausting. Maybe your inner critic is loud, or you feel like you’re constantly falling short. Therapy is a space where you can take a break from that pressure, feel heard without judgment, and start to make sense of what’s going on inside.
