I’ve been in your seat and know how scary it can feel to talk about your struggles, fears and uncomfortable emotions. Being vulnerable can feel the opposite of what it is - courage. Therapy helped turn my life around, which is how I know it could for you. I don’t just believe in therapy, but I live it. I found the tools and tricks that continue to help me on a daily basis. Let’s find yours. I believe in the power of self-awareness in that it is one of the very best things we can do for ourselves. We all have personal weaknesses, struggles, and strengths, but only when we acknowledge them, can we empower ourselves.

Therapy is often times a difficult and personal journey that one enters for a variety of reasons. It provides a safe place for people to process and work through circumstances while also offering valuable insight and perspective into whatever journey they may find themselves on. I feel humbled and a sense of gratitude that you would allow me to be a part of this very personal journey that you have chosen to go on. My philosophy is to welcome & embrace you regardless of where you are at in the journey and walk beside you as you see it to it's end.

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.

Psychotherapy can be a life changing experience. The first step of the process is finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable sharing your world. I would like to help you explore your unique situation to discover whether I might be that therapist for you. Together, we will work to understand how your mind works and how to use this understanding to achieve a sense of contentment with your life. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment, pulling from psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral (DBT), mentalizing, and interpersonal theories to address the needs of my clients.

Entering counseling can be a scary step; however, my belief is that it is important to establish a therapeutic relationship with each client so that they feel comfortable and heard. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, authentic, and empathetic space in which we can talk openly about the challenges that you are facing in your life.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS*** Emotions can be complex, especially if you are born emotionally sensitive and did not learn how to cope with them effectively. Often times these individuals experience their emotions as painful and do not know how to regulate them. This can lead to self-destructive behavior, impulsive behavior, lack of attentional control, depression, aggression, drug abuse, physical/verbal outbursts, problems with relationships, and inability to control emotion. I help my clients learn how to take control of their emotions, their lives, and live a life that is worth living.
