Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. My goal is to provide a thoughtful, collaborative space where you can better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward greater emotional freedom and authenticity.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with more than 26 years of experience providing individual psychotherapy and couples counseling. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, shame, and the search for greater meaning and purpose. My approach is depth-oriented and informed by Jungian psychology while remaining responsive to the unique needs of each person.
My professional path has not been a traditional one. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I practiced law. Although the legal profession provided valuable experience, I found myself increasingly drawn to understanding the inner life–what motivates us, how relationships shape us, and how we can grow through life’s difficulties. That journey ultimately led me to clinical psychology and the work that has been my vocation for more than two decades.
I earned my graduate degree in Clinical Psychology and completed eight years of post-graduate analytic training through the Interregional Society of Jungian Analysts. In addition to Jungian psychology, I have training and experience in psychodynamic, cognitive, and mindfulness-based approaches. Rather than applying a single therapeutic model to every client, I believe therapy should be tailored to the individual. I strive to meet each person where they are, respecting their unique history, strengths, and goals.
Teaching has always been an important part of my professional life. For more than 23 years, I have taught classes and workshops at The Jung Center of Houston on topics related to Jungian psychology, relationships, dreams, creativity, and personal growth. Teaching continually deepens my own understanding of the psyche and enriches the work I do in the therapy room. Many clients have shared that they appreciate my ability to explain complex emotional experiences in ways that help them gain clarity, insight, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
Whether you are facing a particular crisis or are seeking a deeper understanding of your life, psychotherapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and discover new possibilities for growth. Together we can explore the patterns, emotions, and relationships that influence your life while building greater resilience, self-awareness, and a more meaningful way of living.
