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.

My modalities utilized include CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Approach, Solutions-Focused, Strengths-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, & Mindfulness-Based Practices.
We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking. Therapy offers us a safe place of refuge, validation, and hope apart from our uncertain circumstances. The therapist and client develop a mutually respectful and healthy relationship built from developed trust and compassion. Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you. Together we will consider healthy perspectives and identify patterns that perpetuate unhelpful cycles.
