I have been in the business of the healing arts for over 15 years - providing services from case management to individual counseling. I obtained my Bachelors in Psychology from Texas Tech University in 2000 and Masters in Community Counseling from Webster University in 2010. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and in good standings with the State of Texas. Helping others by leading them to a place of healing and growth has fulfilled my purpose and life’s calling. I have specialized in trauma and sexual abuse in both genders including domestic violence issues. Depression and anxiety can be debilitating by offering specialized treatment modalities one can conquer and move towards a healthy future.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for 30 years, with most of my experience in community mental health centers, where I work with chronically and severely mentally ill individuals in an outpatient setting. I worked for 3-1/2 years in a residential treatment setting with severely abused and traumatized children and adolescents. I have also been an adjunct professor of psychology for the University of Houston for 22 years. I worked as a Masters level therapist for several years before earning my Ph. D. in psychology in 1998. Although I consider myself to be primarily a cognitive behavioral therapist, I am also comfortable with interpersonal, client-centered, and Christian counseling modalities. It is my belief that each person has the answers they need for a happy and productive life within themselves, and that my role as a therapist is to help each client find those answers. I believe that all therapy should be based on the core values of empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I provide a counseling setting which is accepting, non-judgmental and geared toward the personal growth of each client.
