I ascribe to a humanistic and psychodynamic approach and philosophy of counseling with some cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) mixed in. I focus on client’s emotions, perspectives, and life experiences, rather than just treating symptoms. I believe incongruence, internalized conditions of worth, and unhealthy core beliefs contribute to emotional and psychological distress. Each client is different, what works for one will not work for all. I use a dynamically informed approach in order to create a treatment plan that is best suited to a client's unique needs and goals.

I won't tell you that the tools I offer are right for you unless your therapy concerns fall within my areas of major focus /experience over the past 20+ years (--treatments include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy plus seven supplemental techniques such as Post Induction Therapy®, each with their own backgrounds of study, practice, and certification).
I don't know what issue brought you here. I haven't met you. I'm not going to tell you what you need. I only know one thing about you: that you're here. So I will focus on that. The variations in our experience are so extraordinarily complex. I want to listen to yours, because that is where we can start.

My practice integrates multi-discipline modalities: Prolonged Exposure; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Behavior Activation Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Therapy.
My use of the phrase “Top of the Morning” greeting began in my days in the operating rooms of the Houston Medical Center some twenty years ago. It was a break away from the traditional greetings. This gave birth to the idea we can begin every day over if we are willing to change. "Top of the Morning" greets you with a sense of hope. My practice invites you to an holistic, mind, body and spirit approach to therapy. Together, we can build a safe, confidential, and responsible client therapist relationship.

I provide therapy in English and Spanish for children, adolescents and adults with Anxiety, OCD or Trauma related disorders and employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address the concerns that clients care about most.
In my psychotherapy practice I help clients know and understand themselves better and become experts at their own story. The experience of seeing our story fully can be uncomfortable because we may not like what we see. But with compassion and empathy I walk through that process with each client to courageously see their life and identify the ways they want to change. We work together at the clients pace to grow and break out of the cycles that keep them stuck in order to experience breakthrough and healing.

I bring energy, authenticity, and years of training in anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and crisis intervention to our relationship, to build connection and create change.
How many of us find ourselves "just making it," going day in and out doing the same routine, feeling like we are sitting in the backseat to our life watching it pass by, out of touch and out of control. Molding our life into what we want starts with acknowledging that something’s not working and that we cannot do this alone. Whether you are struggling with self esteem, stress, a troublesome relationship, life management, or feel that you just want something to be different, we will work together to to get you unstuck and feeling success. Life is hard, therapy doesn't have to be.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
