Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the States of Texas and Oregon. My educational background is in Clinical Psychology. With extensive experience, I specialize in treating clients dealing with low self-esteem, depression, stress, and anxiety. My commitment to professional growth drives me to stay informed about the most modern and effective counseling methods. Over the years, my approach has evolved, and I selectively employ evidence-based techniques that have demonstrated success. Currently, I utilize an eclectic counseling approach, emphasizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I firmly believe that personalized care is essential; there is no one-size-fits-all solution in counseling. My practice values cultural sensitivity, respecting clients’ culture, religious beliefs, lifestyle, and individuality. I take pride in providing exceptional service, treating each client with respect and dignity. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential in life, including the pursuit of happiness.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience in private practice, providing individual and family psychotherapy. Clients with whom I have worked have presented with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, concerns about major life changes, parenting styles, academic direction, and personality disorders. The population I serve range from 10 years old to senior citizens. My treatment style is mainly based upon identifying an individual's strengths, and developing the tools that will best provide actualization of personal goals. The method employed to develop these action plans is drawn from cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client centered therapy, and relationship therapy. I have learned that the most effective psychotherapy is provided by matching theoretical constructs with personal skills. I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston. My clinical experience began when I was in the U.S. Army. During my first year of service, I was commissioned to provide psychological services to all military personal at West Point Military Academy. My next assignment was in Viet Nam, where I became the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Mental Hygiene Clinic within the stockade at Long Bin, where I worked with American soldiers detained for problems of misconduct. Following my military service, I was hired by Texas Rehabilitation Commission to develop psychological service for the first program that was designed to work with adolescents. My next position was to establish a private practice, where I primarily focused on the delivery of psychotherapy. For over 20 years, I also was a consultant for three public school districts. Within that capacity I consulted with teachers, counselors and administrators in the development of programs designed for special need populations. I look forward to joining you in your quest toward personal development. I believe that all concerns, questions and attitudes deserve to be respectfully addressed. And I extend the promise to all with whom I work, that I will never say something nice just to make you feel good. Our objective will be to enhance self-esteem through honest communication and unconditional positive regard.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

We all have a story to tell. Maybe your story is one that includes traumatic experiences such as manipulation, sexual abuse, or sexual assault. Maybe you are experiencing loneliness, depression, or anxiety. You might be struggling at school, work, or in your relationships. Maybe you want to leave a relationship and do not know how. Or maybe, just maybe, you feel like life is okay, but really could be better. You do not have to figure things out on your own. Talking helps. Therapy is not just for certain kinds of people.
