About Me
Warmth and clinical expertise, together.
I have been a clinical psychotherapist for over 30 years and still love my work. I received a Master's Degree in Social Work in 1986 from UCLA and have been fortunate to have had excellent supervision, therapy, and training along the way.
I work in a collaborative, interactive manner, with adult individuals and couples. I participate as an ally, to establish an atmosphere of safety and honesty where you can heal from painful experiences, resolve current issues, and learn new skills and resources to help you deal with future challenges effectively.
Everyone's situation and relationships are unique. I use empirically validated approaches such as EMDR, Attachment Theory, Hakomi Therapy, Mindfulness Meditation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, John Gottman Relationship Therapy, and recently, AEDP to tailor my approach to individual needs to help my clients achieve their goals.
I work 100% through tele-health so I can serve more people in need with convenience and ease. I do not accept insurance, but I am happy to provide a super bill for possible reimbursement. I am able to use HSA accounts.

Psychotherapy vs. Coaching
Psychotherapists help with past and current mental health issues, while Coaching focuses on the present and future. Coaching involves the client stating specific and measurable goals they want to achieve and being held accountable in meeting those goals. Coaching also allows me to work with clients outside of the state of Texas.
I work with clients experiencing:
- check Anxiety & Stress
- check Depression
- check Relationship Issues
- check Life Transitions
- check Grief & Loss
- check Self-Esteem
- check Trauma
- check Neurodiversity
For Clinicians
How to Know What You Don't Know.
Professional training often lags behind the issues clinicians are seeing in real time in their work. I offer consultation and mentoring, "How to Know What You Don't Know," to help clinicians recognize when they're working with someone who is Neurodivergent.
What often is helpful in traditional therapy can be disastrous and destructive when working with Neurodivergent individuals and Neurodiverse couples.
When these differences are unrecognized, behavior can be easily misinterpreted. Clients may be seen as resistant, nit-picky, shut down, or emotionally flat, when, in fact, they are responding in ways consistent with their neurological wiring.
If you are interested in consulting or mentoring, contact me.
My consultation style is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in real-world clinical experience. I hold space for the challenges that come with this work, including countertransference, burnout, and ethical complexity.
