About me

As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I consider it an honor to help you navigate the storms of life with an approach that builds confidence, trust and hope using time-proven techniques. My counsel is based on the combination of both my Christian faith and my psychodynamic understanding of how people heal and mature. My goal is to build with you a trustworthy, empathetic and clarifying relationship, and to rejoice with you in the healing process.

I am known for my powerful, direct approach to the solutions my clients seek. Drawing from decades of working with people in a wide range of settings, I incorporate Christ-centered practice principles along with my professional training as a clinician. I have a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Houston, and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Board Approved Supervisor in Texas. God has allowed me to see countless people heal and grow thriving relationships, and it is a privilege I hold very dear.
