Life is filled with stressors and, during these current difficult times, it is even more challenging to adjust and cope with the everyday events in life.  My goal is to help you find the resources within to overcome these challenges in life.  I would like to help you strengthen relationships as well as develop healthy perceptions of yourself and life for you to feel at peace, safe, and whole.

 

I believe in using different therapeutic approaches that are chosen based on your particular needs.  I often use cognitive-behavioral therapy and approaches that educate through skills training.  I have over thirty years of experience in providing therapy to children, adolescents, and their families.  I believe in a systems approach that encourages teamwork with others, when appropriate, to assist in treatment.

​

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Texas A & M University and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas – Arlington.  I have lived in Texas, in the Houston area, most of my life.  I have been married for 31 years and I have identical twin sons who are 23 years old.  I’m active in my church and I also enjoy camping, volunteering, and traveling.  I like spending time with my energetic rescue dog, Lindsey.

​

I invite you to contact me or Clearhope to learn more about services and to schedule an appointment.  I look forward to working together to help you meet your treatment goals.
