Courses included Separation, Divorce and Remarriage as well as Introduction to Marriage and Family Counseling.

In my work with individuals and groups, I look for ways to enlist my client's creative talents and tendencies to focus and enhance the therapeutic process.

My hope is that you will find a safe and comfortable environment where you are able to be open, face your fears, and achieve your personal goals with support towards better health and wellness. I understand clients come into therapy for many reasons, I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, coping skills, self-esteem, stress, relationships, anger management, communications skills, and behavioral intervention.

I have successfully taught children as early as those in Program Head Start, before becoming a Texas Teacher & School Counselor, and ultimately a LPC-Supervisor . As a child advocate who tries to understand the needs of the child in hopes of helping with mental or emotional turmoil. One may say or think that I specialize in treating children? This would be false, because I can't recall a situation where I could help the child without helping the parents, and even the whole family. Family history and dynamics plays a "Huge" role in your child's development and behaviors.

I have seen individuauls, couples, families, children and teens for over thirty-five years with many personal and relational issues. A former youth minister and present college instructor, I have respect the issues for which young people wrestle. Married for 20+ years and raised two terrific kids, I am aware of parenting problems and joys. My divorce, single-parenting experience and mid-life crises has helped me see into what others suffer. My personal healing, self-discovery and spiritual maturity serve as a resource for helping fellow strugglers. I enjoy helping people of all ages and diversities work through dilemmas and unfold their unique path.

I deeply value marital and relationship fulfillment. If you are an adult seeking marriage, dating, premarital, affairs, or other adult relationship counseling, then we are likely to be a good fit for each other. Since 1987 I have focused as a psychologist full-time on developing and implementing specialized expertise in couples and other adult relationship counseling. Together we may assess in a friendly way what is happening in your relationship, how it developed to be this way, and what may be done to improve communication, build trust, strengthen emotional connections, enhance intimacy, and otherwise fulfill your relationship goals.

Are you tired of feeling depressed? Is anxiety stopping you from reaching your goals? Are you stressed out? Are you struggling with life's curve balls? Is your child or teenager angry, defiant, stressed, or depressed? Is your relationship an emotional roller-coaster? Do you struggle with managing your anger? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I would like to help you find a solution that meets your needs! Despite negative stigmas on counseling/therapy, admitting and addressing the issues is a start.

As a mental health counselor, I have worked with various populations focusing on issues of immigration, trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. My passion in providing bilingual counseling allows me to reach more individuals who are needing extra support and work toward emotional and mental wellness. I am EMDR trained as well.

I look at mental health from an integrative perspective. People are best understood and change is best maintained by taking into account all aspects of a person including physical health, genetic influences, cultural identities, behavioral patterns and past experiences. My therapeutic approach emphasizes an appreciation for the complexity and uniqueness of all of my clients. I provide a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and actions, so that you can better understand yourself and obtain direction on how to grow. I will collaborate with you to create an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
