About Me

 As a licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY24435), I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from Texas State University and later went on to receive my Master’s Degree and Doctorate Degree from The California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) - Alliant International University (APA Accredited). 

I have over 20 years of experience practicing in a variety of clinical settings including community treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, medical hospitals, foster homes, addiction centers, schools, and private homes.  I approach my work with compassion, normalization, humor, empathy, and a passion to motivate positive change and healing.

I enjoy collaborating with my clients to create effective solutions that go beyond the therapist's office.  My objectives are to create a safe environment for you to express yourself and regain hope in your life.  It is important to me that you experience increased empowerment, have a greater understanding of your circumstances, are more trusting of yourself, and regain hopefulness about your situation.   

While self-awareness is important, I encourage and support my clients in taking the necessary action steps to promote change and growth.  With change, anything is possible. 

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
