Thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit about myself. My goal is to provide you with the tools and skills necessary for the growth and progress you and/or your family hope to experience. My approach is primarily based on a collaborative and systemic model that heavily incorporates the developmental level of the individual and/or family. I also incorporate solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral models in my work.
I received my doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and completed my predoctoral training at Harvard Medical School/Boston Children’s Hospital in Boston, MA. I have a master’s degree in Marriage and Family from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and a master’s degree in Program Evaluation from UT at Austin. I have been involved in the mental health field in various roles since 1993.
