What's My Approach to Therapy?
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, where I meet you with genuine empathy, respect, and a commitment to your unique path. Drawing from humanistic, trauma-informed, and integrative principles, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploration and healing.
For children and families, I use play-based methods like child-centered play therapy and parent-child interaction therapy to build emotional skills, resilience, and stronger bonds, always tailoring to developmental needs.
For adults, I focus on trauma recovery and anxiety management, blending evidence-based techniques to foster emotional regulation, self-compassion, and growth.
Together, we uncover strengths, process challenges, and move toward greater wholeness and fulfillment.
My Practice & Services
QuantumPlayt is a private-pay psychology practice dedicated to compassionate, evidence-based care for children, families, and adults. We prioritize accessibility and flexibility, with in-person psychological evaluations available in Texas and Montana. Therapy sessions are available in person in Texas and via telehealth for adults in both states. Appointments occur during business hours, with some evening options for working parents, and we respond to inquiries within 1–2 business days.
Our services go beyond individual therapy to include specialized parent group workshops (in-person or virtual small groups), such as Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) and pediatric behavioral sleep medicine groups, designed to strengthen family bonds, manage behavioral challenges, and promote healthy sleep habits. We also host occasional free online Q&A sessions on topics such as early child development and trauma recovery, empowering the community with practical tools and resources.
At QuantumPlayt, we emphasize a holistic, client-centered approach, honoring each person's unique story and cultural background. Private-pay enables personalized care without insurance constraints, including detailed reports and superbills for potential reimbursement. We are committed to fostering a safe, nonjudgmental space where growth and healing can flourish.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision?one that can make all the difference in your or your child's journey toward well-being. As a psychologist, I encourage you to reflect on what feels right for you, as the right fit often leads to the most meaningful progress. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a therapist:
Specialization and Expertise: Look for a therapist whose experience aligns with your needs. For instance, if you're seeking support for a young child's developmental concerns or behavioral challenges, a specialist in early childhood evaluations and play-based therapy can provide tailored insights. For adults dealing with trauma or anxiety, a trauma-informed approach with a focus on emotional regulation is crucial. Ask about their training and how they stay current with evidence-based methods.
Therapeutic Approach and Style: Consider what resonates with you?do you prefer a collaborative, humanistic style that emphasizes empathy and your unique story, or something more structured? The best therapists adapt to your pace, values, and cultural background, creating a safe space where you feel seen and respected. Think about whether you want elements like somatic practices or relational techniques that promote resilience and growth.
Practical Considerations: Check logistics like session format (in-person or telehealth), availability, and fees. Private-pay options often allow for flexibility and faster access, while superbills can help with reimbursement. Ensure the therapist is licensed in your state and verify their credentials through directories or state boards.
Connection and Comfort: Ultimately, trust your instincts during an initial consultation. A good therapist listens deeply, honors your experiences, and inspires confidence in the process. Healing is a partnership, and the right one will make you feel empowered from the start.
