I understand that life can feel overwhelming. Relationships are complex, daily stress builds up, and sometimes it’s hard to know which direction to take. If you're feeling lost, isolated, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, you're not alone. Many people carry these emotions quietly and it’s more than okay to reach out for support. You already have strengths within you, even if they feel out of reach right now. Growth and change can feel daunting, but they’re absolutely possible with the right support. My role is to walk alongside you, offering a safe, and confidential space where you can express yourself openly.

I have over 15-years experience in evaluating children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychosis, trauma (physical and psychological), and learning disorders.
While training at The Menninger Clinic, I found psychological testing to be an invaluable part of the treatment process. However, this component is often underused in outpatient settings. Therefore, my goal is to provide high quality evaluations to outpatients, with as much care and respect as those offered to inpatients.

Couples caught in marital gridlock experience either emotional bickering and blaming or withdrawal and isolation. Marital gridlock can be caused by a betrayal, control issues, a lack of intimacy or important personality differences. This will leave us with a married life of emotional isolation and confusion. When we lose our sense of self in our marriage it can seem impossible to stop reliving the same negative patterns repeatedly. Where did the best of us go and our ability to respond effectively to difficult situations?

You may feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—anger, emotional shutdown, or repeated struggles in relationships. Often these patterns are connected to childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or difficult family experiences that were never fully processed. Some men develop coping behaviors that create shame or distance in their lives. Therapy will help you understand these patterns and develop practical tools to manage emotions, build healthier relationships, and move forward with greater clarity.

You may look like you have everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many of my clients are navigating tension between cultural identities, honoring family values while figuring out who they are. This often shows up as guilt, people-pleasing, identity conflicts, or struggles with family expectations. I specialize in culturally responsive therapy for people from Muslim, South Asian, and Middle Eastern (SWANA) backgrounds across Texas. Many of my clients are immigrants, children of immigrants, or people navigating bicultural identities, family expectations, and intergenerational trauma.

I deeply value marital and relationship fulfillment. If you are an adult seeking marriage, dating, premarital, fidelity, or other relationship counseling, then we are likely to be a good fit for each other. Since 1987 I have focused as a psychologist full-time on developing and implementing specialized expertise in couples and other adult relationship counseling. Together we may assess in a friendly way what is happening in your relationship, how it evolved to be this way, and what may be done to improve communication, build trust, strengthen emotional connections, enhance intimacy, and otherwise fulfill your relationship goals.

Are you curious to understand the "why" behind things?
Why do I get triggered by certain situations?
Why do I keep repeating certain patterns in my life?
Why does it feel so hard to change some of my mindsets?
Why do I feel the emotions I feel so deeply?
Are you ready to take a deep dive into your inner world to understand what might be holding you back or causing you distress? Instead of just focusing on what's happening right now, do you want to look at your past (especially childhood) to see how it shapes who you are today?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I began my career in applied behavior analysis with children on the autism spectrum before transitioning to work with eating disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety. Through these experiences, I learned how deeply our emotions, bodies, and stories are connected and how healing begins when we feel truly seen and supported.

I work with adults and older adults seeking clear answers about attention, executive functioning, social differences, memory concerns, or other symptoms that may not yet be fully understood. Many come after years of difficulty affecting work, relationships, or daily life and want to know whether ADHD, autism, cognitive changes, or another condition may be contributing. My assessment process combines clinical interview, standardized testing, and relevant history to provide evidence-based diagnostic clarification and practical recommendations for treatment, accommodations, or next steps.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
