I have been a licensed professional counselor since 1994 and have my private practice in Northwest Harris County, with many years experience working with individuals, couples and families addressing many issues in a
collaborative approach. I am trained in a varied of therapeutic techniques and frequently utilize solution focused, client centered and cognitive behavioral approaches . I emphasize client's strengths as we work
together to achieve your goals or resolve a difficult issue.
I received a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas where I worked for an outpatient mental health facility. After moving to Houston, I gained more clinical experience at
several counseling agencies, working with children, adults and families. My clinical experience encompassed family conflict, chemical dependency issues, grief issues, relationship issues, anger management to list
a few. I also worked for a foster/adoption agency where I provided therapy to children, as well as, support and training to foster and adoptive parents. Additionally, I worked in a school setting for over a dozen years, providing
counseling, assessments and crisis intervention. That experience has been valuable in assisting parents, as well as, their children or teens when there are school related isssues, whether they are academic, behavioral or peer.
Finally, my practice is a place where clients can come to receive support, guidance and resolution to current problems, past issues or learn new ways to handle life's challenges.
