I specialize in working with:

• Children who struggle to express big emotions and instead show distress through behavior, withdrawal, or difficulty at home and school.

• Children who feel easily overwhelmed by change, transitions, or expectations and need support building emotional regulation skills.

• Adolescents who seem fine on the outside but experience anxiety, self-doubt, or pressure to meet academic and social expectations.

• Adolescents navigating identity, peer relationships, and increasing stress while trying to feel understood and accepted.

• Individuals with ADHD who may appear distracted or disorganized but are often working hard to keep up with demands and expectations.

• People experiencing anxiety who tend to overthink, anticipate worst-case scenarios, or struggle to feel calm even when things are going well.

• LGBTQIA+ clients seeking a space where they can explore identity, relationships, and self-understanding without fear of judgment or invalidation.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults to help them manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related emotional or behavioral challenges. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening self-understanding in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Treatment is tailored to each person’s needs and may include talk therapy, skills-based strategies, and family support when helpful.

While I work with children, there are some things that I cannot do. Because I provide therapy services to children, I am not able to provide an expert opinion or recommendation relating to the conservatorship of or possession of or access to a child, including a child custody evaluation or parenting facilitation. I also do not provide court-ordered treatment or forensic evaluations.

Linden Tree Counseling, PLLC is an outpatient therapy practice. Outpatient therapy is intended for individuals who are safe and able to manage daily responsibilities while engaging in ongoing mental health support through regularly scheduled sessions. Linden Tree Counseling, PLLC is open Monday - Thursday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

As an outpatient practice, Linden Tree Counseling, PLLC is not able to provide services for individuals experiencing active crisis, including those who are at immediate risk of harm to themselves or others. If you are in crisis or need urgent assistance, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), dial 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. If outpatient therapy is not the right fit, I can help you identify appropriate higher levels of care or other mental health resources.

I am licensed in the state of Texas and can see clients virtually statewide or in person at my office in Richardson. I cannot see clients outside the state of Texas.

Across ages, therapy helps build emotional awareness, improve regulation, strengthen relationships, and support healthier ways of thinking and responding to stress. For children, play therapy is often used to help them express thoughts and feelings in a natural, developmentally appropriate way through play, which can make it easier to process experiences they may not yet have words for.
