Therapists in Piney Point Village, Houston, TX

As a therapist, I am dedicated to building a therapeutic environment that encourages authenticity, transparency, and compassion. I take a client-oriented approach that centers around my belief that people can take charge of their journey to healing and recovery. I trust that the client is the expert of their own lives, and my role is to consistently empower them to develop toolkits to be able to navigate daily struggles and lived experiences.

Basically, my clients are people who are in need of resolving disturbing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorder, ADHD, ADD, interpersonal challenges, relationship issues, couple personality crisis, communication, divorce crisis, and deviant sex offending behavior. I have worked in diverse workplace and among people from different cultural background, ranging from group homes special population to Children in foster homes, older and young adults among incarcerated population to adolescents and adults of various ages in the outpatient clinics in geriatric locked hospital units.

You may have a goal of living a meaningful life in all its richness and seeking help with interpersonal or mental health symptom related concerns? Depression, anxiety, history of trauma? Are you, your family or relations journeying through life transitions or in need of support related to medical-health concerns? There are times in life when it feels like you are barely keeping your head above water. Not a fun feeling! More importantly, I work with compassion, empathy, and am non-judgmental, while creating a safe space for you to explore and understand.

For individual, couples, adults and teens, the pursuit of ones therapeutic goals is a deeply personal endeavor, one that entails time, effort, occasional discomfort and some expense. I am keenly aware of the burden of trust, inherent in my participation in so intimate and earnest an undertaking, and will apply my clinical judgment, professional acumen, interpersonal skills and 35-years of experience, to discern and address those needs. In doing so, respect for your values, reverence for your individuality and deference to your aspirations, will guide our endeavor, enabling you to attain your goals with dignity and true contentment.

Whether one seeks relief from anxiety, trauma, relational impasses, or life disillusionment, therapy can help. It is unfortunate that insufficiently engaged approaches to therapy, prohibitive rates, and the unconscionable reluctance of most clinicians to accept insurance fail so many clients, who in good faith seek to discover a healing of heart and mind. As a psychodynamic therapist, I view my role as an empathic change agent employed to help bring about a fuller knowledge of self and a more liberated experience of life and relationship. I also supervise highly promising interns from NWU available for as low as $15-30 per session.

Welcome and congratulations on taking a big step towards helping yourself. My goal is to help you lead a more satisfied and meaningful life. I am a licensed psychologist with seventeen years of experience in various mental health settings including community mental health, psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers, state psychiatric and medical hospitals. I am experienced and enjoy working with a wide variety of issues particularly, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, grief and loss, addiction and recovery, health psychology, neuropsychology, young professionals, and life transitions.

Life can offer challenges, and every day my amazing clients are forging their individual paths to lasting, positive change. I enjoy helping individuals, children, teens and parents explore and process difficult emotions and build tools for connection and improved communication. Using systemic approach, my clients discover new aspects of themselves, build tools to cope with anxiety and depression, and learn to effectively navigate life's challenges, changes and transitions.
