Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! My name is Toni, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed School Psychologist. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from St. Mary’s University and my Master’s degree from Our Lady of the Lake University. I have spent the last seven years working in both school and clinical settings, supporting children, adolescents, and their families through a variety of emotional, behavioral, and developmental experiences. Over time, I have gained experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood dysregulation, grief, life transitions, behavioral concerns, and neurodiverse identities including autism and intellectual disabilities. I am passionate about helping children feel confident, safe, and empowered as they grow into themselves.
How I Can Help
I strive to create a warm and supportive space where your child feels welcomed just as they are. By learning about their interests, strengths, and unique personality, I tailor therapy to fit their individual needs and pace. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and developmentally appropriate play-based interventions to help children build emotional regulation, resilience, and self-awareness. With my background in school psychology, I also value a collaborative approach with caregivers and schools to support each child across their different environments.
More About Me
Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my three dogs, Achilles and Ares (my huskies) and Atticus (my chihuahua mix). Ares and Atticus are rescues, and each brings their own comfort and joy into my life. I deeply value family time, enjoy relaxing at the beach, love baking new treats, and always appreciate a good cup of coffee.
