Welcome,

I am so glad you are here!

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where typically and

non-typically developing children and their caregivers can learn the tools they need to lead

joy-filled and

growth-focused lives.

Supervised by Diana Garza Louis LPC-S#82246

Hi, I'm Kristen! (she/her) I am a bilingual therapist who has experience working with children, teens, adults and families of varying languages, cultures and backgrounds. With over 20 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to improving the lives of children and their caregivers. I have almost 15 years experience working in the public school system as a Parent Support Specialist, Dual Language Classroom Teacher, and Bilingual School Counselor. I have experience working with refugee families, families experiencing domestic violence, and families receiving special education services.

My formal education and work experience has prepared me to provide counseling to children and adults in individual and group settings. I have gained experience in counseling a variety of mental health concerns including ADD, ADHD, Autism, developmental delays, educational consultation, parenting support, grief & loss as well as depression and anxiety.

​ I have specialized training in parenting support, play therapy, and sandtray therapy among other trauma informed practices. I approach counseling through an attachment based lens, while using Interpersonal Neurobiology throughout my work. I am always looking to grow and learn more, currently I am trained in Child Parent Relationship Training (CPRT), Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and Gottman Institute Levels 1 and 2. I received my Bachelor’s of Arts in Human Services from St. Edward's University in Austin, Tx and completed my Master of Arts in Counseling at Texas State University in San Marcos, Tx.
