Psychiatrists in West University Place, TX

I strive to bring curiosity, openness, compassion, and a non-judgmental stance to my work and I challenge my patients to do the same. My patients want a way to feel and express their feelings and no longer avoid them. They want to open up their capacity for joy and acceptance.

I know your time is valuable. Initial consultative evaluation appointments are available for scheduling WITHIN 1-2 WEEKS, unless I am not accepting new patients at that time. I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist with Fellowships in Psychoanalysis and Mindfulness based treatments. I provide individualized treatment for those dealing with concerns about mood, anxiety, or struggles in one or more areas of life. While I offer short sessions of psychiatric care, my area of expertise is long sessions integrating treatments such as psychoanalysis talk therapy, exercise, mindfulness, and medications when indicated.

If you are in distress and want to schedule a confidential consultation with a Board Certified psychiatrist within 1-2 weeks, please call me. I have 25+ years of experience, expertise and interest in treating adult and geriatric patients. We will start with taking inventory of your medical, psycho-spiritual and socio-cultural needs and decide if medications and/or psychotherapy are indicated. I can provide a comprehensive second opinion about your medication and therapy regimen. You will hear from me personally to answer questions before you schedule an appointment.

I am an adult psychiatric clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner. My practice is located at HWY 290 and Hollister in Houston, Texas.

My Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program was completed through the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and Psychology. Additionally, I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy, couple's counseling, family therapy, group therapy, and as a clinical hypnotherapist.

I specialize in helping individuals seeking to make significant changes in their sense of themselves, their relationships, and their overall level of functioning through the relationship with me. I enjoy helping individuals grow and realize their full potential. I utilize psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I may use medications to facilitate or augment therapy.
