Growth begins with connection.
Children and teens don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling. Families don't always have every answer. Understanding, compassion, and practical skills can help create space for meaningful change.

My experience and professional interests include the following areas.
✧
Adolescents
Self-esteem, peer relationships, emotional regulation, anxiety-related concerns, and navigating change.

Meet your counselor
Hi, I'm Anitria.
I'm a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a heart for helping children, adolescents, and families feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Through my work as a school counselor, I've supported children experiencing emotional, social, and behavioral challenges, collaborated with families and educators, and helped young people learn practical ways to express their feelings and navigate difficult moments.
I believe it's important to look beyond behavior and understand the emotions, experiences, and needs behind it. My approach is grounded in compassion, patience, and meaningful connection.
My hope is to help people recognize their strengths, build emotional resilience, and discover their own calm within.

Do you work with children, adolescents, and families?
These are my primary professional interests and areas of school counseling experience. Availability of clinical counseling services depends on my approved supervised practice setting and the needs of each client.
