Therapists in The Woodlands, TX

Integrity. Respect. Confidentiality. These are values I live by personally and professionally. The therapeutic process is based on trust; without trust, the therapist and client will only touch upon the shallowest issues. I am proud to demonstrate the highest level of respect for clients and their concerns. My experience in working with clients who differ from me in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship, political persuasion, intellectual ability, religion, sexual orientation, and economic status has been positive. Helping clients feel comfortable enough with me to engage in the treatment process is of the utmost importance.

With offices in The Woodlands and Houston, I offer the entire gamut of psychological services to individuals of all ages.

Within themselves, each person has the power and strength to tackle the challenges and difficulties they face. It’s my job, as a clinician, to help them access that power and strength, and I do this by first providing a non-judgmental and positive environment. This allows us to identify the thoughts and perceptions that are influencing their actions, both positive and negative. Real, affirming change can happen when we openly examine the thinking that is holding us back and work to change those thoughts that are no longer servicing our goals. I’m excited to help clients with that self-examination and re-building process.

Life can be challenging! I assist individuals, couples, and families in moving through difficulties and making positive changes for a more satisfying, fulfillling life. Clients learn to utilize holistic and therapeutic approaches to regain personal balance, vitality, meaning, and a sense of purpose. I've worked in a variety of clinical and hospital settings, including pain management, substance abuse, and mental health, as well as providing services in the community, schools, and homes. My clients include adults, families, adolescents, and children, who learn to view their challenges as opportunities for growth!
