Adults Therapists in Bellaire, TX

I strive to help others live a happy, healthy, successful life and cope when it can get difficult. If you have an addiction, troubles in a relationship or marriage, need help with increasing effective parenting, lack confidence in your self-worth, are tired of feeling a vast range of emotions, cannot get motivated or reach higher school/work performance, I am here to work with you; and together, we can work towards achieving your goals. For over 15 years, I've been a professional counselor and enjoy helping children, young adults , adults , families, and couples through a therapeutic style that is non-judgmental yet straightforward.

I work primarily with adults and adolescents who are having trouble negotiating difficult life stages. I treat both short-term, acute problems and more pervasive, long-standing problems. My years of training, first in CBT, and later in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches allow me to use both in my practice. The client and I decide on treatment approaches based on his or her strengths and preferences.

My clinical psychology practice involves working with adults experiencing significant life transitions as well difficult emotional states. For many, depression and anxiety that stem from loss, grief and isolation, have been more difficult to manage because of the pandemic. Self-esteem and relationship difficulties have also been more troublesome during this time. I am particularly interested in helping people learn new ways to adapt to changing life circumstances, such as the consequences of the pandemic, adult children leaving home, managing chronic illness, deaths of significant others, and loss of what is familiar.

I earned my B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Washington in Seattle and my master’s degree in Social Work from New York University in Manhattan, New York.

For 5 years I was a family and individual therapist on the Compass Unit for Young Adults at The Menninger Clinic. For the past 3 years I have been the Director of The Eating Disorder Service.

Life inevitably brings us painful feelings, thoughts, and experiences that we often respond to by trying to suppress, run away from, avoid, or numb ourselves. This may result in struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, etc., and may cause us to lash out at our loved ones or act in ways we do not feel good about. My clinical approach is inspired by the concept that we cannot always “get rid of” painful parts of our lives or the things outside our control, but what we can do is work to develop a different relationship with them so that they come to have less influence or power over us day to day.

People seek therapy for many reasons. You may face illness or health issues, and seek therapy for support. You may experience an unexpected negative event and need therapy to deal with resulting stress, depression or anxiety. Or you may want a different perspective on a given situation and seek therapy for clarity. My goal is to help you find the support, relief and clarity to enjoy a more productive life. I believe in a non-judgmental, active and collaborative approach. Warmth, compassion and humor characterize my therapy style.

If you are feeling stuck, unsure of why you are feeling what you are feeling, or don't know what to do next, counseling is a wonderful place to start. We all deserve to find and experience joy in our lives, and this looks different for everyone. Whether you are overwhelmed and burned out by work, school, or life in general, or finding it difficult to cope with life's many challenges, you do not have to go through it alone.

As an experienced psychologist, I've come to believe that change is most likely to happen when a client and therapist can form a strong therapeutic alliance. Throughout my career, I've seen such alliances produce remarkable results for patients and their families.
