Psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, families and groups
Clinical assessment & consultation · LCSW clinical supervision
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and board-approved supervisor in Houston, with more than 25 years of experience in mental health. I offer individual, family and group therapy, along with clinical assessment, consultation, and supervision for social workers working toward licensure.
Who I work with
Therapy for every stage of the family story
Teens
A space to think out loud about school, friendships, family and who they’re becoming.
Adults
Making sense of relationships, patterns that keep repeating, and feelings that are hard to name.
Families & parents
Stepping out of the loops that leave everyone feeling misunderstood, and finding each other again.
Groups
Learning about your own mind in the company of others, led by a Certified Group Psychotherapist.

How I work
More than one mind in the story
My work is relational, psychodynamic and grounded in mentalizing: the very human capacity to make sense of behavior, our own and other people’s, in terms of what’s going on inside. Feelings, wishes, fears, intentions.
We all lose it under stress. Minds narrow, we stop wondering and start knowing, and relationships get stuck. Therapy is a place to slow down, get curious again, and make room for more than one mind in the story.
