About
As someone who knows how challenging it can be to ask for help, I approach therapy with compassion, humor, and realness to make growth feel possible and safe.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience helping clients navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I work with individuals across all ages, supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes that improve their quality of life.
I earned a Master’s in Psychology from Regis University. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, combining evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I focus on helping clients build resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies for lasting growth.
I understand that seeking help takes courage, and I aim to make that step feel safe and supported. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward healing, balance, and renewed confidence.

Nin is a compassionate and motivated therapist with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their families. Since beginning her practice in 2022, she has drawn upon her seven years of experience as a teacher and school counselor to offer specialized support to children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. This includes navigating school 504s and IEPs, accommodating house chores and school work, strengthening struggling friendships and other relationships, and the rarely-discussed emotional struggles of ADHD. As ADHD frequently coexists with other challenges, Nin has experience in supporting individuals with comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, autism, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and more. She is also trained in EMDR for trauma-care should that appeal to her clients. Parent coaching is one of her specialties and most enthusiastic endeavors, especially for parents of neurodiverse children. Nin helps parents discover strategies that promote healthy relationships and thriving families.
Nin’s approach is relational (1.5/2), multi-culturally informed, and flexible, always adapting to meet the unique needs of each person she works with. Her work is grounded in a belief that every individual is worthy of understanding, respect, and care, no matter their culture, religion, or personal expression. She strongly believes that everyone deserves a space where they can feel seen and supported, without judgment. She also incorporates meditation and mindfulness techniques, and the occasional nature walk or spiritual discussion if desired.
“I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.”

My go-to approach for child therapy is to use shared activity or offer artistic expression through playing games and using puppets or having the child draw or show me other creative skills they have with LEGOs, sand play, etc.
The tools I teach in children's therapy are generally the identification of emotions and safe self-expression, self-regulation through mindfulness and physical activity, and the development of social skills through turn-taking, story telling, and cooperative play.
I know a client is making progress when sleep and somatic complaints decrease, when they are more able to tolerate unfamiliar situations, and when they report being better understood or supported by adults in their lives.
Clients can supplement their time in children's therapy by using scheduled reinforcements to support behavior change, rehearsing mindfulness skills, and practicing naming feelings and what influenced them vs. only reacting.
To prepare for their first child therapy session, a child can talk with a parent about what they hope to change and come up with a list of questions they like to ask new people about interests, etc.
Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Cedar Park.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Cedar Park, TX have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Cedar Park, TX is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
