In my practice as a clinical psychologist, I integrate modern psychological concepts, advanced neuroscience, and somatic principles to provide personalized, solution-focused strategies for change that encourage, empower, and embolden my clients and patients.  I am a practitioner and clinical researcher of mindfulness-based interventions and have authored protocols and internationally attended presentations on the integration of mindfulness-based interventions in trauma treatment.

​When it comes to building expertise and being a highly skilled provider, I go hard. I have two bachelor's degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, a master's in Counseling from St. Edward's University, and a Doctorate in Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University. I completed my internship and postdoctoral residency at the South Texas Veterans’ Healthcare Administration. My specialization is in trauma and mindfulness-based interventions. These features inform my work, but my scope of practice these days is broad and inclusive.

I am committed to a strengths-based, solution-focused orientation that celebrates collaboration, the inherent role of clients as the expert on their experience, and the importance of cultural humility. 

I believe that if you are going to be talking the talk, you have to walk the walk - as such, I engage in therapy myself.  I know firsthand that being in the client's chair is a brave thing to do. It’s worth it, but it takes some courage. For those of you willing, I am committed to meeting you there in a genuinely authentic, non-patronizing, non-pathologizing, non-judgmental way.
