I approach therapy from an integrative perspective. I creatively weave elements and principles from evidence-based practices specifically drawing upon psychoanalysis, person-centered, and relational therapy. I also use many techniques and protocols from cognitive behavioral therapy and offer eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Through a collaborative process, I provide a personalized experience focusing on understanding and easing life's journey in relationship with self and others. My clients come from all walks of life - gay, students, executives, straight, stay-at-home parents, lawyers, sex workers, healthcare professionals, therapists, queer, mechanics, ministers, and more. Topics that often come into play in my work center around LGBT, life transitions, codependency, grief, shame, relationship issues, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, spirituality, and religion. My clients experience respect, support, and the understanding that they are the expert in their own life. I am a master's level clinician with degrees in clinical mental health counseling and interpersonal communication. Previous to becoming a licensed professional counselor I worked in executive administration and human resources for two decades. In person therapy is available in Houston and I also offer services via telehealth.
