As a graduate of UTSW and Lead Counselor at a Neuro Transitional Center in Dallas, I specialize in adjustment to disability and recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Concussive Disorder, Acquired Brain Injury, Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury.

Most people end up at some point in their lives feeling angry, depressed, anxious, sad, lost, useless, directionless, etc.—feeling like a lot of things aren’t worth even the slightest effort. These are all natural feelings, until we dwell on them and find ourselves too buried and out of breath to even think about dealing with them. Once stifled, we may develop unhealthy patterns: we might isolate, doubt we are worth the soil we stand on, burn bridges, or obsess about things past, future, or out of our control. We need and deserve help. I am so glad you made your way here, recognizing you are worthy of this investment in yourself.

Time is our most valuable commodity. I work with individuals and couples to support them in making growth choices. This enhances their time wherever it is spent, such as in relationships, career , with family, or enjoying hobbies and recreation. I offer psychotherapy or executive coaching. My career and personal development services take into account the changes ahead for most industries as they incorporate new technologies such as A.I and robotics, and the effects of this on the individual’s career path and decisions.

The client and I are partners in developing the skills necessary for managing the stresses of life while determining what a meaningful life looks like for them. Although we look at the past to learn from it, the client and I generally focus on the present and future and the unique strengths of the client. This collaborative model of therapy aids the client in taking more control of their life.
