About My Clients
Focusing on psychodynamic and attachment therapies, I assist clients with complex trauma and mental health issues. Collaboratively, we explore histories, emotions, and thoughts in a nurturing space. Aiming to enhance self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment, I guide clients toward growth. My practice, rooted in a therapeutic relationship of trust, empathy, and respect, seeks to empower individuals on their recovery journey.
My Background and Approach
My academic path began with a bachelor's in psychology and a Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology from the University of North Texas, Denton. My journey continued in Syracuse, NY, for a pre-doctoral internship at SUNY Upstate Medical University before returning to Texas for a fellowship at The Menninger Clinic, affiliated with The Baylor College of Medicine. Houston has since been my home, where I'm dedicated to my practice. I employ various methods, including interpersonal, DBT, psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and mentalization-based therapies, humorously dubbed "just plain old therapy" by Dr. Jon Allen. I am also advancing my skills through the Somatic Experiencing Professional Training Program to earn the Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner credential. This commitment enhances my capability in aiding clients' healing, aligning with my goal of meeting the program’s educational and practice requirements.
