Each client deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity, and by a provider who not only knows how to help them reach their goals, but understands their unique history and can conceptualize them holistically. I treat primarily children and adolescents, working with both the child and frequently parents achieve therapeutic goals and nurture a supportive relationship. Additionally, I have a special interest in treating young adults with developmental disabilities going through life transitions. I approach your care by working collaboratively with you and other providers/teachers as needed.
I'm a Licensed Psychologist in Texas as well as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I completed my doctorate training at the University of Southern MS, APA- accredited internship in a Louisiana charter school, and postdoctoral fellowship through Kennedy Krieger Institute/ Johns Hopkins Medical School.
Therapy is a process built on trust and collaboration to achieve greater insight, understanding, and develop new skills. My goal is to understand your strengths, goals, and develop a supportive relationship to help you in your journey.
