Practicing psychotherapy has been my life’s work.  My career in the mental health field began in 1978. I earned my masters degree in clinical social work from from the University of Texas at Austin in 1985. After working in inpatient and outpatient settings, I opened my private practice in 1991. Throughout the years I have worked with individuals, couples and families who have struggled with a variety of different challenges that include chronic mental illness, addictions, childhood and other traumas, grief and loss, depression and anxiety.  I have extensive training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies, family and marriage therapy, hakomi, mindfulness, meditation, authentic movement, and  emotional clearing. Continuing with a strong curiosity for new learning I currently receive training  from very seasoned clinicians and spiritual healers.  My journey has been to integrate these varied experiences and knowledge to enhance my clients’ growth and creativity.
