My clients come from all walks of life and ages with a wide variety of issues. My "Education & Experience" tab details my professional background. In sum, I am professionally quite versatile and enjoy helping clients resolve whatever issue they bring to my office. I work with individuals, couples, and families using supportive, insightful therapy techniques. I am kind but direct. If you want honest, insightful feedback, then I am the right therapist for you. At the conclusion of our initial visit, I will outline my assessment of your present issues and underlying patterns. After many years of training, assessments and evaluations, combined with my naturally intuitive disposition, my insights are on target. If you are ready to change, my psychotherapy sessions can help you. I do not believe in spending a great deal of time rehashing old issues, although I do need to know about them to formulate a treatment plan. We will use your past issues and patterns to help you clarify historical errors without blame or guilt. When we can look objectively at our past, we can move forward with a clean slate and set goals which are true to ourselves and which honor our overall wellness and happiness.
Counseling will always result in increased self awareness and hopefully also provide life long improvement in coping skills and self-esteem. I look at the whole person and believe we all owe it to ourselves and others to be the best person we can be. Relationship issues are typically the reason a person initially seeks counseling, be it conflict with a partner, a coworker, a family member, or within oneself. I will work with you to set goals and will also support you on your journey to recovering from depression, anxiety, chemical dependency, compulsive disorders, or trauma.
Besides working as the Houston Divorce Support Expert for Examiner.com, I have also written a column for Houston Woman magazine answering reader questions on Women's Issues. Due for publication in 2012, I have written "The Divorce Survival Guide". This book provides both professional and personal insights and coping skills. Readers may review my Examiner.com Divorce Support column to get a flavor of the range of topics which this book will address.
Part of my versatile interests includes adotion home studies and adoption issues. I have been performing independent Texas adoption homes studies for 15 years. So long as an adoptive parent is a Texas resident, I am able to complete a home study for an adoption in a State of Texas court. I understand the dynamics and challenges unique to second parent adoptions and am extremely sensitive to your family's particular needs. I work with your lawyer to submit a professional and complete social study as part of your adoption process. Prior to a scheduled home visit, I provide adoptive parents with an itemized list of preparation tips and necessary documents. The home study process need not be stressful nor complicated. I strive to provide expedient and thorough service with a true love of helping all parents and many different types of families with their exciting adoption journey. I also work with clients seeking Court Ordered Social Studies.
To schedule a counseling session or adoption home study, or if you have any questions about my psychotherapy or home study services, please contact me at 281-813-8330.
