Biography
I graduated with honors from the University of Texas at San
Antonio with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I attained
a Master of Arts and a Doctorate of Philosophy degree in Clinical
Psychology from Texas Tech University. I am licensed by the state
of Texas to practice clinical psychology independently. Clinical Experience: I have extensive experience working with people coping with different types of issues ranging from mild adjustment difficulties to chronic and severe psychosis. I have worked with clients in various treatment settings, including out-patient clinics, a university counseling center, a partial hospitalization program, nursing homes, psychiatric in-patient treatment, residential substance abuse treatment programs, and private practice. My areas of specialization include relationship issues, loss / grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and post-partum adjustment. In addition, I treat both individuals and couples. I use either a short-term approach or long-term approach to
psychotherapy depending on the needs and wants of the client.
Teaching Experience: With regards to teaching, I have taught college level courses in psychology and have conducted training for police officers and correctional officers on topics including suicide prevention and communication. I have also taught and supervised graduate students in their clinical training. |
