I am a licensed psychologist in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with over 20 years of education, training, and professional experience in providing psychological services for individuals, couples, and groups. I believe that therapy should consist of creating a safe and supportive environment to promote one's ability to thrive in response to life's challenges.
Having worked in a variety of settings with a diverse population, I have a breadth of experience and training to treat persons across the lifespan with differing mental health needs. I believe that the process of therapy, whether individual or couples counseling, is a collaborative effort in which I form an alliance with you to help find the path that best suits your needs.

I am a therapist with a passion for helping others find their place of peace in this world. We live in a society than can affect individuals in a negative manner, telling them who they are and labeling them without respect to their personal value or potential. This influence on us can lead to a sense of brokenness and disconnection with our community, beginning to tempt us to give into the limits put on us by an outside source.
Seeing a psychologist can be beneficial for a number of different reasons. Research has shown that therapy can help alleviate symptoms related to a number of disorders as classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). People come to therapy for help in the treatment of various disorders such as: depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc.
Provide initial consultation, individual, couples, and process group counseling as well as psycho-educational workshops to students dealing with personal, academic, and career conflict. Provided adult individual and couples therapy, counseling in a high school setting, intake assessments, group psycho-educational therapy, lecture presentations to groups, and neuropsychological testing to individuals.
As a clinical psychologist I believe in providing evidence-based treatment for various mental health concerns. I also see each person as a unique individual with varying experiences, cultures, and personalities. Because of this view, I believe that therapy is a collaborative approach in which the psychologist and client work together toward an ultimate goal.
All relationships have their ups and downs, with hopefully more ups than downs. Marriage or couples therapy can help in resolving conflict and creating a relationship that is secure, open, and honest. My approach utilizes the research of Dr. Gottman, the leading marital psychologist in the U.S.
The Gottman Method for creating a healthy relationship focuses on nine basic components: Build love maps, share fondness and admiration, turn towards, positive perspective, manage conflict, make life dreams come true, create shared meaning, trust, and commitment.By focusing on these components couples can create a healthier relationship, increase their relational satisfaction, and develop stronger intimacy.
