ONLINE THERAPY IN
LANGUAGES SPOKEN
Rae's Focus
While I might not have a magic wand (yet!), I do have two secret weapons: evidence-based play therapy and a client-centered approach. Think: therapeutically-structured activities that are backed by science but in the language of your child! Because let’s face it, sometimes grown-up talk just doesn’t cut it.
Rae's Other Specialities
But I’m not just here for your kids. As a team, we can work together to create a support system that works for everyone. Think of me as a translator, helping decode your child or teen’s unique world and bridging the gap to understanding. After all, justice, equality, and ethical practice are my guiding stars, and that means everyone gets a voice.
Speaking of voices, psycho-education is my jam! I believe in empowering you with knowledge, finding resources that fit your family like a glove, and most importantly, listening. Because your child’s journey is unique, and so is yours.
More About Rae
But before you think therapist = boring grown-up, let me add a twist! I used to be a preschool teacher, so I know my way around finger paints and silly songs. Camp counselor? Check. Babysitter extraordinaire? Done! Oh, and did I mention I love graphic novels and animals? Yep, plus kids and their perspectives hold a special place in my heart.
History And Qualifications
I’m currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Counseling Education from the University of Houston, constantly expanding my toolkit to support your child. Recently, I worked under a renowned child psychologist, gaining experience in treating children, teens, and their families. Think building connections, developing play therapy skills, and utilizing techniques like CBT and DBT.
Prior to entering the mental health field, I dove deep into understanding human behavior by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre from Trinity University in San Antonio, (think storytelling and understanding emotions!), adding minors in Women & Gender Studies and Sociology for a dash of social justice.
I’m not just a therapist-in-training, I’m also a human with passions! Whether I was conducting research on theatre’s essential workers or supporting fellow students as the Health & Wellness Committee Chair, I believe in empathy, inclusivity, and celebrating individuality. That’s the same energy I bring to every session, aiming to understand your child and create a safe space for growth.
My diverse background and unwavering enthusiasm are ready to team up with you and your child. Let’s build a path to their success, one session at a time!
