I graduated cum laude from the University of Houston with a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, followed by a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Tulane University. I have over 30 years of clinical experience treating adults, couples, families, adolescents and children over the course of my career. Currently, I am working with adults in individual and couple therapy. I see clients in person and via in-home therapy. 

My approach to treatment is individualized and integrative. I will use the most effective treatment methods that will help you reach your goals of therapy. My approach may include any of the following: Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Somatic Therapy and mindfulness techniques.  I specialize in treating couples, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and end-of life passage.

My current areas of interest are neuropsychology via Robert Scaer and Peter Levine. Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy based on the work of John Bowlby and Carl Rogers, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy developed by Steven C. Hayes.  I am also interested in applying CBT, Object Relations Theory, Integrative Behavioral Theory, and Solution Focused Therapy to my work with couples. In couple therapy, I follow the standards set by Lebow and Snyder. Much of my work with clients experiencing grief and loss is driven by J. William Worden and Mary Frances O-Connor.
