Great to meet you!

Marriage and Family Therapist and AAMFT Approved Supervisor with over 15 years of combined experience in individual, couples, conjoint, family, and group psychotherapy across outpatient, inpatient, in-home, and community mental health settings. Proficient in DSM-based assessment, evidence-based treatment planning, crisis intervention, and suicidal/homicidal risk management. I bring with me a working knowledge of human development, family and system interaction. I am committed to culturally competent, trauma-informed care. I hold a PhD in Family Therapy and I am licensed in Texas, New York, Oklahoma, and Michigan.

My approach to therapy

My approach is systemic and holistic taking into consideration the biopsychosocial and spiritual aspect of the individual. I provide evidence-based therapeutic intervention and develop treatment plans that assist individuals, couples, and families to live a healthy, productive, and successful life daily.
