Are you living to go through the motions instead of enjoying each day? Do you feel overwhelmed, overworked, under appreciated or at your wit's end? Perhaps your current coping mechanisms aren't working so well for you or are creating tension in your intimate relationships? I believe the answers to your problems lie within you and through talking and exploring your emotions and reactions, we can construct solutions that can enhance your life.

You are here because your life is in turmoil, and you are lost and scared. You might have a life threatening illness and feel that the time is running out. Yet you know beyond any doubts that there is more to life than struggle for survival or empty existence. My mission is to help you create an order out of chaos and guide you towards realization of your full potential. Together we will work on barriers to your self-actualization, that can be rooted in unresolved trauma, lack of self-acceptance, and difficulty in receiving love. By re-connecting with your true self and you life path, you can create a meaningful life on your terms.

Welcome to my office building and my practice. I intend to convey a non-judgmental and non-pejorative attitude that is evident in the therapy process, regardless of the issues at hand. I use an integrative and individualized approach forming a therapeutic and productive partnership that best meets your needs.

I believe trust and compatibility are essential to a successful therapeutic relationship. My highest priority is creating a collaborative, safe and accepting environment for fostering change and growth. I work within a broad range of areas including depression, anxiety, life transitions and stressors, couples, parenting and family issues. My areas of specialty include eating disorders, grief and loss and relationship issues. As a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Baylor College of Medicine, I enjoy teaching and supervising Clinical Social Work trainees.

Raising children and adolescents can be difficult, draining, confusing, and overwhelming. I understand that parents can feel at their wits end at times, or feel that their child may need an “outsider” to talk to. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and/or parents with a variety of concerns including behavioral issues, school performance, anxieties, social issues, depression, and common issues that accompany adolescence. All parents want to see their child(ren) succeed whether that is in school, their passion, or socially, and I want work alongside your child to help them reach their goals.

It is our potential to have fulfilling and meaningful lives, expressed through our love and our work. Therapy supports individuals realizing this potential. Therapy is effective at alleviating acute stress, anxiety and depression and in turn finding meaning in the difficulties and struggles of life. My goal is to help you live a life with greater calm and acceptance, greater resilience in the face of difficulties, a greater sense of energy, effectiveness and elegance in living, an enhanced sense of choice and satisfaction, and improved intimacy with loved ones and friends.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (teletherapy available). If you're feeling stuck in the mundane, stilted by anxiety, or have recurrent memories or obsessions, you may feel ready to give up. You don't need another person in your life to tell you "just relax" or suggest "just do X more." What you want is to be deeply understood for your experience, to be uplifted and to get help to pursue a fulfilling life, and what you need is more than talk therapy. You need an evidence-based treatment that not only works, but is individually designed to work for you. I may be able to help.
