I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with 30+ years experience providing individual, group, and couples therapy, forensic, personality and medical assessments and court testimony. I specialize in helping people who are stuck... in depression, anxiety, anger, recover from narcissistic abuse, broken relationships, and in past trauma. Additionally as a LSOTP-S I treat youth with sexual behavior problems. In office and tele-psychology sessions available. New patients welcome.

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School - Dallas, a MS degree in Clinical Psychology from Abilene Christian University and a M.Ed. in Counseling and Human Development from Hardin-Simmons University.
My goal is to initially provide you with symptom relief and the coping skills that will enable you to improve the quality of your life in a confidential, safe setting. Long-term goals typically involve coming to a deeper understanding and resolution of underlying issues that contributed to the development of the problem.
