It is our potential to have fulfilling and meaningful lives, expressed through our love and our work. Therapy supports individuals realizing this potential. Therapy is effective at alleviating acute stress, anxiety and depression and in turn finding meaning in the difficulties and struggles of life. My goal is to help you live a life with greater calm and acceptance, greater resilience in the face of difficulties, a greater sense of energy, effectiveness and elegance in living, an enhanced sense of choice and satisfaction, and improved intimacy with loved ones and friends.My training includes extensive personal study of psychoanalytic theory, as well as several decades of my own therapy. I have a Masters in Clinical Social Work from the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston. I have also trained in AEDP, an experientially based treatment for trauma, and am pursuing certification in that style of work.I worked at the Houston OCD Program where I learned to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat depression, anxiety and anxiety related disorders. Finally I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for patients struggling with trauma, treatment resistant depression, and suicidality.
