It seems nearly impossible for folx to live honestly, freely, and unabashedly in today’s world. As a Black and queer therapist, I am dedicated to resistance; I help folx to get honest with themselves and others, to use their values to shape life goals, to unlearn restrictive mores that have aided in their oppressive, and to live a more liberating and affirming life.

I specialize in adjustment issues, sleep disorders including insomnia (using CBT-i), pain management, adjustment to chronic illness, PTSD, stress management, relationship issues, and substance abuse.
My practice centers around providing clients with the skills that they need to thrive in the face of stressful situations. Prior to entering private practice, I worked as a clinical psychologist on the spinal cord injury unit at TIRR. These individuals would have never otherwise sought mental health care but were faced with one of the most stressful and challenging experiences of their lives. My role was to help these individuals to effectively cope with serious, adverse medical events and to live happy, fulfilling lives. Likewise, in my private practice, I strive to help clients successfully navigate complex situations.

Sometimes people want more relief from pain (physical or emotional) anxiety or insomnia than they are getting with medication(s) or other treatments.
Tapping into the mind-body connection can help decrease chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia or other problems. Life can be stressful. Psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, biofeedback and neurofeedback can help you learn to cope better mentally and physically. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I have been in private practice for 18 years. I specialize in chronic pain management, anxiety, insomnia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I can teach you how to reach a calmer, more comfortable and resilient state.

As a board certified neurotherapist and licensed professional counselor, I can identify the cause of your symptoms including anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep, behavior, performance, and memory issues, among many others. Research has shown you can link these symptoms to specific brain regions and train the brain to function more effectively. Optimize Mind Care specializes in QEEG ("brain mapping") and Neurofeedback ("brain training" or EEG biofeedback). These methods are brain-based techniques that create a treatment approach based on biology and a patient's symptoms, instead of symptoms alone, in order to address the root cause.

I can help you get the easy, effortless sleep you want again! In as few as 6-8 session, the treatment I use (CBT-I, Google it!) has the power to transform your sleep so that you can fall a sleep easily.
If you've dreaded going to bed because you know it will be yet another night of tossing and turning, you know how desperate you can be to get some shuteye. It's possible you're even reading this at 3am. You may have tried everything--medications, natural supplements, meditation, oils, etc.--and nothing seems to work! It can be frustrating when you used to sleep so easily. You begin to feel like your insomnia has a life of its own, feeling drowsy on your commute to work, drinking cup after cup of coffee to make it through your day. You look on jealously at your partner or kid, who seem to sleep so effortlessly. It feels unfair!

You're a high performing woman with anxiety and trauma. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive." Everyone comes to you for help, but your needs aren't even on the radar. Even in your marriage. You've pushed the trauma so deep down that you're in survival mode. On the outside things seem great, but you don't know how to stop people pleasing, perfectionism or how to speak your mind to your loved ones. You've prayed and read books, but you're drowning on the inside. You need long-lasting change NOW so you can continue to move to the next level and thrive. That's where brainspotting trauma therapy comes in.

Do you feel stuck and wish you were making faster progress than you have been from going to weekly psychotherapy sessions?

Healing can occur in a few days of therapy intensive sessions rather than over years of weekly sessions.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
