My desire to help people solve and manage the issues and concerns they face in life has driven my educational pursuits, my work, and my career. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1991. I then received my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, TX, followed by my Doctorate in Organizational Psychology from Capella University in Minneapolis, MN.
Life happens to all of us, and having someone to talk to that helps you find solutions that work within the context of your life makes managing the stressors of life easier. I have assisted clients who have struggled with a variety of concerns so that they were able to find a sense of peace and balance, meeting the goals they set for themselves.
Issues I have helped my clients resolve include:
- Adjusting to Change / Life Transitions
- Adjustment to College
- Anger Management
- Anxiety
- Communication Problems
- Control Issues
- Depression
- Divorce and Divorce Adjustment
- Family Conflict
- Grief
- Infidelity and Affair Recovery
- Military Issues
- Peer Relationships
- Relationship Issues (Marital/Couples)
- Self Esteem
- Sports Performance
- Stress
- Trauma and PTSD
- Veteran Issues
- Weight Loss
In my approach to therapy, I utilize theory and techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy among other modalities.
