I am an ordained minister who served in local church ministry for over 21 years before entering private practice in 1996. My graduate work in Psychology was completed at Houston Baptist University. I consider it a great privilege to help adults overcome the trauma of childhood abuse. Whether it be physical, sexual, and/or emotional in nature, the journey is difficult. I believe it is important to change fearful beliefs that others are to be mistrusted and that happiness is unattainable. Safe places are hard to find. I am diligent in creating a safe place in which a trauma survivor can heal. Sometimes the healing journey is long and painful. I am committed to "walk along beside" for as long as is needed. A darker outcome from childhood abuse are the Dissociative Disorders. Multiple "personalities" can be the product of such abuse. Healing through an effective treatment modality helps the dissociative individual achieve various levels of integration and function. My passion to help those wounded by trauma comes out of 22 years of serving as a vocational minister in churches in Texas and Florida. The discovery of so many who were not being adequately treated moved me to this new area of work.
