My clinical and testing experiences at Baylor College of Medicine, Quentin Mease General Hospital, and Parkview Adolescent Psychological Services have made me proficient in providing weight and chronic disease related behavioral health treatment, assessing academic placement, identifying personality and dementia related memory disorders, and treating depression and anxiety.
My treatment approach is based on over 10 years of providing testing and treatment services. In every case, my primary treatment goal is to help my clients develop the necessary skills--both thinking and behaving-- to improve their health, academic performance, day-to-day functioning and sense of well-being and self-efficacy. I do not fix my clients but focus all my efforts toward helping them to fix or better manage their problems themselves. This is done through fostering client strengths.

We provide individual, couple, group, child, & adolescent psychotherapy, alongside acupuncture, food therapy, and other related modalities to provide holistic mind and body care.
Everyone has experienced a sleepless night where the burdens and worries of our lives have kept us tossing and turning. Many times those closest to us are the very ones we cannot turn to for help. This is all part of life. But when the tossing and the turning become a constant companion, and when family and close personal relationships become more stressful than supportive, we need a safe place to unburden our inner thoughts, worries and fears. This safe haven is where you can uncover new direction for your life and begin to move into wholeness, free of feeling fragmented.

I completed my internships and training at The Baylor Adolescent/Sports Medicine Clinic and Baylor Psychiatry Clinic where I worked with adults, couples and families.
Initiating therapy can be difficult. Even the first phone call can be very anxiety provoking. My goal is to help you discover changes that can lead to a better understanding of your life. Psychotherapy is a process that involves finding the real truth within one's self. With a compassionate approach we will be able to help understand the conscious and unconscious factors that are keeping you from enjoying healthy relationships, love, work, family and other life related experiences. I believe in being empathetic as well as mindful of clients during sessions so that you are able to achieve the goals that you want.

If you or a loved one are struggling at work, school, or in relationships, a psychological assessment may be an important first step in any intervention plan. I have over 15-years experience in evaluating children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychosis, trauma (physical and psychological), and learning disorders. I aim to help a person, his or her family, and/or outpatient treater to better understand the core issues, specifically those issues that are getting in the way of a person functioning productively in school, work, interpersonally, and/or emotionally.

Emotions are part of being human.I like to think of feelings as tools; indicators of where we are in life and that it may be time to explore change. All too often we find ourselves wrapped up in situations that evoke emotions so powerful, we can become overwhelmed. Regardless of your situation, I will meet you where you're at & help to identify and utilize strengths you posses as we move closer toward a place of clarity & growth. I enjoy helping individuals make sense of the past, as they work on the present and achieve a stronger sense of self.

My practice centers around providing clients with the skills that they need to thrive in the face of stressful situations. Prior to entering private practice, I worked as a clinical psychologist on the spinal cord injury unit at TIRR. These individuals would have never otherwise sought mental health care but were faced with one of the most stressful and challenging experiences of their lives. My role was to help these individuals to effectively cope with serious, adverse medical events and to live happy, fulfilling lives. Likewise, in my private practice, I strive to help clients successfully navigate complex situations.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
