I can help!
I am a clinical psychologist in private practice near the South Texas Medical Center. I have over 20 years of experience helping people successfully navigate life's most difficult challenges and realize their dreams. My practice is based on a combination of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and positive psychology approaches.
Many people are reluctant to try psychotherapy because they don't want to spend a lot of time analyzing their childhoods. Others have said they've talked to a therapist in the past but nothing in their lives really changed from it. My practice is different! It emphasizes helping my clients solve problems and make practical improvements in their lives that will make a difference now! I've helped countless teens and adults make lasting changes and lead better lives.
A comfortable therapist-client match is critical for success. My personal style is warm, supportive, flexible and optimistic. I focus on your individual perspective, unique strengths and personal values as we collaborate in bringing about the changes that will accomplish your goals. I frequently recommend experiential exercises, books, CDs and movies tailored to help my clients continue the work we are doing on their own outside of our therapy sessions. I have an extensive lending library of recommended fiction and nonfiction books, relaxation/meditation CDs, yoga and exercise videos and relevant movies available.
I have particular expertise working with highly intelligent, gifted, talented and creative individuals, sensitive and intuitive people and successful professionals, especially executives, physicians, attorneys, scientists and entrepreneurs. I am sensitive to the unique confidentiality and scheduling needs of prominent individuals with demanding schedules. Many of the adolescents I work with struggle with high IQ paired with mood disorders, learning differences, family issues or social difficulties. I also provide consultation services to organizations, family businesses and medical practices.
I have written and spoken extensively on relationships, parenting, women's issues, grief, depression, personal excellence, and coping with disability and medical illness. My comfortable, relaxing, office is conveniently located with ample free parking. I am a preferred provider for many insurance plans. Payment by check or credit card is available. My courteous staff can assist you in determining your insurance benefits and taking care of any required authorizations.
If you are nervous or skeptical about psychotherapy, you are probably in for a pleasant surprise. Many people find talking with someone who can help is much easier than going it alone.
