My research work at the Baylor Mood Disorders Center focused on depression, bipolar, and post-partum depression.
The gift of therapy cannot be truly measured in words or action, but in how you feel afterwards. Your decision to begin psychotherapy was probably made after a great deal of thought and consideration. Selecting a therapist who will be a good fit for you is critical since the process of psychotherapy is intense, and a satisfactory outcome is essential. I provide a broad spectrum of evaluation and psychotherapeutic services with individuals, couples, families, and groups. My approach is collaborative, seeking solutions within your value system.

Throughout my many years of experience, I have seen many clients, each person with a unique set of circumstances to cope with. Anxiety and depression may factor into their life arc, some may be dealing with grief or past traumas, and others may have issues with their self-image. When assessing couples (I am both LPC and LMFT, so I frequently see clients with a variety of needs), I've noticed that the main issues that I offer assistance with tend to be communication issues that then lead to conflict. Clients that come to me actively want to improve their lives, and it is my pleasure to support them by meeting them where they are.

I offer individual therapy and psychological assessment tailored to each individual’s needs. If you are struggling with relationships, a difficult circumstance in life, know what your struggles are but can’t seem to change them, or even have a vague sense that something could be better, I can offer help. In therapy, I offer a genuine relationship to help you navigate difficult life stages, understand yourself more deeply, and get to the “root” of your concerns. My experience lends itself to helping individuals with particularly challenging life patterns or diagnoses.

My ideal client comes to me seeking to regain a balance in their life they may have lost. I have experience with clients who have dealt with various issues such as trauma, addiction, depression, and more. For each and every one of them, I meet them where they are. I then create personalized goals to regain a sense of normalcy and understanding they may have forgotten. They often come to me not always knowing what to fully expect, however, we always make progress in discovering what it is that they may need.

As a solution-focused psychologist with a diverse clinical background, I am able to tailor my work to fit the specific needs of each client. Many individuals will hit a rough patch their lives leaving them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, alone, uninspired, unfulfilled, or just out of ideas. Clients are particularly ready for psychotherapy when the problem begins to interfere with functional living and relationships.

I work primarily with adults who are having trouble negotiating difficult life stages. I treat both short-term, acute problems and more pervasive, long-standing problems. My years of training, first in CBT, and later in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches allow me to use both in my practice. The client and I decide on treatment approaches based on his or her strengths and preferences.

Bipolar Disorder Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
