I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Texas and Florida, with over 17 years’ experience in the profession. I have provided Individual Therapy as well as Couples' and Family sessions. I primarily work from a Solution Focus perspective with a foundation in systemic thinking. Additionally, I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor Mentor as well as have been a Licensed Supervisor for over 10 years.
The first session is an introduction and overview of therapy in general as well as to how I approach sessions and my personality. A chance to share as much as you feel comfortable with, giving us a beginning point and a general direction for the following sessions.
I believe that one strength I provide, is that despite having over 17 years of experience, I understand that simply because I have experience does not mean I know everything. I will never know you as well as you do, and since you are the expert on yourself, listening to you is important. I know that and I will. Additionally, over the years several clients have commented on how they have appreciated my sense of humor, and that while not everything or every moment is funny, a sense of humor has been helpful in balancing out the serious nature and intensity of the work.
Working with couples to improve a transactional nature of communication within the relationship. This specifically involves helping couples identify if they are an Angry Duck or a Misunderstood Platypus, evolving to the Platinum Rule, as well as the unique time out process Bubbles and Jazz Hands.

While an ideal and immediate resolution would be great, it often isn't possible, instead of looking for the perfection solution, we work on sorting through the millions of options and taking a step closer to the ultimate goal, instead of waiting.
