About Me

I have been in private practice since 2014, working with licensed professionals, including C-suite executives and young adults. With over 25 years of experience, I specialize in treating complex mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, relational challenges, and personality disorders. I am also a trained mental health interventionist experienced in conducting in-home interventions for dependency and other mental health issues. Previously, I worked at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, one of the top psychiatric hospitals in the United States, and at Memorial Hermann's Psychiatric Response Team, conducting psychiatric evaluations. I also supervise interns and consult for local treatment centers.

I hold a Master’s Degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at The Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago, focusing on psychodynamic theory. I am licensed in Texas, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Colorado.

I have extensive training in evidence-based methods, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapies, EMDR, and Arise® Intervention Training. I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S), a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and a Certified Mediator.

In 2023, I completed a fellowship at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, specializing in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). KAP helps address treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, chronic pain, addiction, and anxiety, enabling deeper self-reflection and psychotherapeutic processing. I combine KAP with psychodynamic therapy to maximize outcomes, helping clients find clarity, insight, and a greater sense of meaning. I have facilitated over 200 KAP sessions.
