At our first session, we will focus on your concerns, what brought you into therapy, and any other contributing factors.

We'll discuss your goals and expectations, and how you will know when things are better.

My specializations include couples and marital counseling, individual therapy, behavioral health (i.e., the mind-body connection), mindfulness training, stress management, values/goals clarification, LGBT issues, and hypnosis. Understandably, clients want results that are both fast and lasting, so I tend to use some type of brief, solution-focused model in my work. I also have considerable experience utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a method that is both quick and effective for relationship/family/parenting problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic pain, guilt, insomnia, medical impairments, work stress, anger/resentment, smoking addiction, and many other difficult issues.

You’re the “strong” friend that’s supposed to have it all together. The one that says “fine” when asked how you’re doing, but who is really struggling inside. Underneath your mask is irritability, insecurity, fear, and sadness. Your nerves are getting the best of you, and you can’t sleep because your thoughts or worries keep replaying. No matter how hard you try to forget, your past keeps haunting your thoughts and dreams. Imagine waking up refreshed, confident, and unafraid while expressing your thoughts and feelings in a healthy way. Your relationships and career are strong because you feel safe, hopeful, and good about yourself.

I have always loved helping people to feel empowered about their relationships and vocations, and everyday living. My clients report in their testimonials that I am warm, comforting, empathetic, and easy to talk to. Some marriage counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists spend years analyzing and speculating about the root causes of a person's problem. One of my strengths is that I am able to zero in on the heart of a problem and devise effective strategies for solving it.

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.
