Hello and welcome. Looking for therapy is often hard work. Trying to find a good therapist can feel overwhelming, hopeless, or exhausting. If you are reading this, you or someone close to you is probably hurting. I can help. I wonder what brought you here and what’s going on in your life. What’s coming up for you now as you sift through listings and look at pictures of therapists? Are you skimming them or going through them with a fine-toothed comb? What physical sensations are in your body? What thoughts and ideas are coming up for you? What emotions are you feeling?

Drawing on a desire to help people overcome obstacles in their personal relationships, my professional work involves counseling individuals and families in order to achieve conflict resolution and better communication. As a neutral third party, I am better able to identify the challenges my patients face and facilitate positive change. Working with families, it is essential to foster a high level of trust between the therapist and family members. Mutual respect and open communication are essential to the therapeutic process. Engaging patients at their level, I help people find the change that they desire and the strength within themselves to achieve that change.

I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and have been in practice since 1986. My style is interactive, but varies depending on the needs and personality of the client(s). I see the therapy process as a team effort with ongoing review of client satisfaction. When appropriate I consult other professionals and/or make referrals. I believe that peoples' feelings and behaviors are effected by their interpretations of events, and sometimes encourage clients to explore their interpretations. I try to work within their spiritual and cultural belief system, and seek information when my knowledge is limited.

I, also, offer prenatal and postpartum support to women who may feel depressed, worried about baby, or just wondering how they will manage it all. I offer a safe space where you can connect, explore what matters most to you, and take meaningful steps towards change.

Oftentimes, "counseling" has a negative connotation - counseling is for people who have something "wrong" with them, or it's for people too weak to handle their problems on their own. I don't buy that. We live in a hurried and difficult world. Pain and confusion seem to shadow us wherever we go. Sometimes our relationships slip. Sometimes we find ourselves puzzled about meaning and purpose. Sometimes we just need someone to help us make healthy choices. In my office here in Houston, you'll find therapy is confidential, safe, and solution-oriented.

It's your time! I sincerely believe that everyone deserves a productive and peaceful life. Having a knowledgable and compassionate therapist can help in this wonderful journey.

You are totally worth it, and so are your loved ones who depend on you. Remember: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power,love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
