Welcome
As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to assist clients as they resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I partner with clients as they find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.
Blending evidenced-based traditional and unconventional approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve their goals.
While I love what I do for a career, what I love more is being a mother to my two children: a daughter 43 and a son 40. Both of them have experienced their own difficulties in life, such as dyslexia, severe anxiety, ADHD, oppositional behavior and, as other children, traditional childhood issues. With a great deal of education about their diagnoses, amazing support and tenacity from us all, one received a Doctor of Psychology and the other a Master of Business Administration. Although my academic knowledge and training have given me many tools, my children have been my greatest teachers.
It has been a pleasure being their parent and learning to re-design myself over and over again... for them, but more importantly for myself. In the process of doing so, I have learned so many techniques, the most recent being EFT, that I take with me to improve the quality of my life!
What I have learned, whether it be in books, a classroom, or in my own home, I take with me in a therapy session, on the phone with my clients or in a room with seminar participants. When all is said and done, I realized the reason I do what I do, and have done what I have done is because of one common thread....I can think of no greater legacy than to have made a difference in another's life.
It would be my honor to walk this walk with you as you Re-Design your life!!"
If I can be of support to you by providing teletherapy in Texas, Louisiana and Florida, please let me know.

Stay safe and be well.
