Hi, I have been in private practice for about 20 yrs. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Vermont and my graduate degree from UofH. I live in Houston, TX and am married with 3 kids and 2 dogs. Growing up we moved a lot due to my dad's job and that has forced me to adapt quickly. You will have my cell number so that you text me if something unexpectedly comes up and we need to work through it together.
I do not specifically identify with one theory. I feel that is trying to put everyone in the same box. My approach to every client and situation requires me to take a little from all of the different theories so it can be customized to your needs. My goal is not to get you to where I want you to be but where you want to be. Keep in mind, you didn't get here overnight and you won't get to where you want to be overnight.
My goal is that my clients leave feeling heard and have hope that they have someone that is there for them and to help guide them.
I do not sugarcoat anything, I feel that is a waste of time. I am politely direct and to the point. I like to give homework because I feel that is the best way for our session to continue until we meet again. If you leave my office or virtual appointment and don't think about our session after it is over then there is no point.
