My Background and Experience

I have been a licensed psychologist practicing in Houston since 1987, and I began work in the mental health field in 1972. I earned my doctorate at The University of Texas at Austin. I also earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Texas A&M University and a Master’s degree in counseling from the University of Maryland. I have been in full-time independent practice for more than 12 years. I formerly was the Director of the Family Therapy Program at the Houston Veterans Administration Medical Center. Prior to that, I was a faculty member at the University of Houston. I maintain affiliations with several universities and the Baylor College of Medicine, and I teach graduate courses in marital and family therapy. I serve as a consultant to numerous organizations including the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Attention Deficit Disorders Association, Emory University, and the Richmond State School. I am a past-president of both the Houston and Texas Psychological Associations.

I provide a range of psychological services including individual, marital/couples, group, and family counseling (i.e., psychotherapy). I also provide psychological testing and assessment for evaluating problems of children and adults.
