I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice for more than 10 years. Prior to private practice, my career began as an inpatient therapist on locked units at psychiatric facilities Cambridge Hospital (currently Sun Behavioral Hospital) and West Oaks Hospital. In addition to my inpatient work at West Oaks Hospital, I was a group facilitator with both adolescents and adults for the outpatient extension of the hospital: The Excel Center. My work at The Excel Center involved daily group therapy in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).

Because of my work with the acute psychiatric population in intensive treatment settings, I am able to work as a generalist practitioner. I work with most issue from depression, anxiety, and OCD to trauma, addiction and relationships struggles... just to name a few.

With over 45 years experience, clients consider me to be caring, direct, and engaging. Many things including stress both effect and are connected to your mental and physical health. Self care is very important and that will be a focus. People have some degree of trauma whether large or small which is a primary area of practice and experience for me. I utilize many tools including mindfulness, Brainspotting , Art and EMDR. I consider myself to be both empathetic, inquisitive and Intuitive. I currently only work with adults.
