Welcome!

Disruptions in life, like a health problem, struggling relationship, death, or job loss cause stress and can push us to our limits. Working with a psychologist makes sense if you want to save time and use the adversity you are facing to grow stronger and wiser.

Whether you are an individual, couple, or organization seeking my services, my goal is to help you defy the odds by leveraging psychological strategies and practical wisdom to efficiently address the problem at hand.

I obtained my doctorate in counseling psychology from The University of Texas at Austin and then served on the faculty of UT Health, San Antonio for several years. I am former president of the Bexar County Psychological Association and author of the award-winning book, Strong Women, Strong Love: The Missing Manual for the Modern Marriage.

Let’s work together to help you step into your power. Explore the links below to learn more about my services.
