No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I believe everyone has something to work through in their lives. By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history. I will always begin where you feel you need to go in therapy and allow you to guide me in your struggles, what you need most and what you desire to gain from therapy. This is a two way relationship and feedback throughout the therapeutic process will only enhance the therapeutic relationship towards your goals. I wish for you to find the inner peace and strength that I know everyone has within them and to be able to achieve and live the life that makes you feel truly alive! As for some information about myself, I am a retired Army social worker and love that I have had the ability to work with Soldiers throughout a multitude of issues to include PTSD, depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, grief and loss, marital counseling, substance abuse, domestic violence intervention, parenting skills, and adjustment issues.

I like to provide psycho-education and lots of coping skills, self-reflective, and other psychological tools to allow patients to learn and grow via hands-on materials. Growth comes with constant practice and application of the things we learn. I hope you will allow me to be part of your journey and I look forward to meeting you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology (1971) and a master’s degree in Psychology (2005). I went back to school after many years during which I raised three sons and worked mostly at Baylor College of Medicine in the departments of Surgery and later Psychiatry. I attended school while working fulltime for three years to complete my master’s and had great support and encouragement from the Psychiatry department. During my practicum, I worked in the psychiatric ward of a county hospital which was an eye opening experience! We also worked with people in the Astrodome after Hurricane Katrina. During my internship, I worked with clients with eating disorders and gained an understanding of the great difficulties that they face. For 15 years, I worked in neuropsychological testing which involved a thorough evaluation of the mental, cognitive, and emotional condition of the client. I spent most of a day with a client and developed insight into their emotional problems which included PTSD, depression, and anxiety due to a traumatic injury or experience and the necessity of adjusting to life changing events such as accidents or illnesses. I have also worked with clients who were attempting to get disability benefits for chronic illnesses and with clients with disabilities who were trying to return to work. I have learned to meet diverse clients where they are, and I always find ways to connect and feel empathy for them in their struggles. I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is integral to the success of any counseling experience. Humor is good too! I have also experienced counseling myself, and I led an online Panic Disorder Support Group on AOL for six years before I went back to school. My treatment approach is focused on emotional support, education, helping you gain insight into yourself and others, and giving you the tools to help yourself. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic principles as well as other appropriate methods in order to help you meet your therapeutic goals. I am ready to help you with whatever you are experiencing and look forward to talking to you!

Do you feel overwhelmed or lonely? Maybe you just have day -to- day problems or you may have been dealing with mental health problems for a long time. Let’s get together and talk. You may find that this is a valuable way of getting a new perspective of yourself, or a way of motivating to do something different, or make changes that you never thought you could make with feelings of anxiety or depression. You want to feel better about yourself. I love making life easier for individuals of all ages and have been achieving that gratifying result for 19 years through the good graces of a grant-based agency, specializing in the care for victims of crimes. Working with the full range of life experiences for individuals, families, couples, adolescents, and children is needed in these times of change and uncertainty more than ever when life’s path does not seem so clear. I graduated in 1994 with a Psychology degree in 1994 from University of Houston, Central Campus. After working for a year in a half as a psychiatric technician in a psychiatric hospital, the desire to further my education became an imperative and I received my Masters in Counseling from the University of Houston, Clearlake in 2003, all the while gaining actual on-the-job personal experience working as a school counselor. If you like upbeat and positive dispositions, the cheerful attitude alone could give you a hopeful outlook. If you would like a committed therapist who will care about you, listen patiently while give you space to tell your story, then I may just be the one you are looking for. The areas of my expertise include relationship losses, intimacy issues, adjustment disorders, job related stress, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, depression and anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, children behavioral issues, mood disorders, anger management, substance abuse, and helping victims of crime. As an example of my therapy techniques, for anger management, I incorporate a three-fold approach. Walk away or brush it off, apologize, or quit getting mad about the same things you get mad about. Your success does not happen overnight. It may take many weeks of practice, but in the end, you will get very good in your responses to anger, becoming skilled in assertive methods for subduing anger and relieving any stress. Working together to gather your history, understand your present problem, and getting to know your value system and the priorities you have in dealing with your issues is key to therapy. Sometimes a client just needs to be empowered with good listening skills from a therapist or receive positive reinforcement, maybe just be understood and wanting their feelings validated. Whichever approach we decide upon, all make our relationship worthwhile for me to walk the journey of life with a person, to unlock doors of awareness and understanding, help them walk through to reach rewards of a fuller life, enrich themselves to feel more alive, enjoy this world free of pain or suffering.

My belief is that the counseling process is a collaborative partnership between therapist and client(s). Working together, we will explore current concerns and develop realistic goals. My theory of counseling is Adlerian, which is based on the notion that people are responsible for their behavior, thoughts, and feelings. As an Adlerian counselor, it is my belief that each of us is searching for significance and belonging. Based upon early experiences in life, we develop ways to strive for this significance. Over the course of time, however, we may find that some of these constructed methods are no longer helpful. As a result, we find ourselves discouraged and disconnected from ourselves and others in various aspects of life. In counseling, we will explore areas including your early experiences, belief system, personality style, and coping mechanisms to identify and understand what exactly is no longer working for you. We may focus upon thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors, and a variety of techniques may be introduced. Based upon your insights, we will work together to identify an action-oriented approach for you to achieve your goals. If you have any questions regarding therapy, please feel free to ask.
