Interpersonal Therapists in Alamo Heights, TX

I obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Denver. I completed a Predoctoral Internship and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in clinical psychology at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. My broad training included emergency psychiatry, inpatient and outpatient adult and adolescent treatment, neuropsychological and forensic assessment, and behavioral medicine . My fellowship training in psychological testing and adolescent development informs my clinical thinking and focuses treatment to the psychological, interpersonal, and developmental presentation of each individual.

Therapy is hard work. It is also full of humor, humanity, clinical guidance, check-ins, a-ha moments, advocacy, and a sprinkle of magic I have been told "she will meet resistance with patience, gentleness, and freedom for you to exist exactly as you are" in the therapy room. You deserve to show up exactly as you are; all forms of you are always welcome. I've found when you show up as your most authentic self, the work can really begin. Asking for help may be the first step in calming the ongoing chaos.

Whether grappling with depression, navigating anxiety, confronting life's complexities, or addressing other mental health issues, our collaborative efforts aim to alleviate presenting concerns and symptoms.

Feeling stuck, hopeless, or confused? Need a change, but not sure what it would be? Sometimes life throws challenges that are too overwhelming to handle alone. Whether you are having trouble accepting or believing in yourself, fighting depression or anxiety, managing anger, or dealing with relationship problems; psychotherapy can be an extremely helpful process to facilitate personal growth and insight.

If we are to live into our potential and experience lives that are meaningful to us, it is helpful to gain insight into where we feel blocked and what needs to happen to move us closer to our authentic self. As a psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst, I can often help you on this journey. There are many reasons why we seek individual or couple therapy. Understanding ourselves better seems to be reason enough. But for some this decision comes when we are at a particularly difficult moment in life--a death, divorce, relationship concerns, retirement or any situation which may constellate strong feelings.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques, I help clients enhance self-awareness, focus on goals, identify triggers, change maladaptive cognitions and behaviors, and enhance coping skills. My goal is to help you grow, heal, and move toward where you want to be in your life.

I provide counseling and coaching for those seeking personal growth, finding life direction, reaching goals, resolving issues, and moving forward in life. I work closely with those evaluating life, relationships, education, or career changes.
