Educated at Rice University and The University of Texas at Austin, I have practiced the art and science of psychology for 30 years in a variety of clinical and educational settings in Fort Worth. I have learned much from the children, teenagers, adults and families that it has been my privilege to know and to share part of their journey.
With training and experience in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and play therapy, I focus on the psychology of optimal functioning, a.k.a. "Positive Psychology", and its applications to wellness and personal growth. Specialties include treatment of anxiety and depression, life transitions and losses, and Asperger's Syndrome. Services include individual therapy, life coaching, spiritual direction and school consultation.
Volunteer leadership roles in the community and church have helped me deeply appreciate the interconnectedness gained in shared mission. A frequent speaker and trainer, I have presented to numerous professional organizations and conferences as well as to educators in public and private schools. Since 2001 my focus has been on experiential workshops which integrate principles of positive psychology with creativity and spirituality.
Identifying, nurturing and expressing our strengths leads to a more engaged, meaningful life. Therapy is a creative, collaborative process. This collaboration creates space and possibility for change. It is about finding the right questions to ask, as well as enhancing hopefulness, courage, insight and optimism.
