As the managing partner and licensed psychologist who has been with the Del Valle Clinic since 2001, I enjoy working with families, couples and individuals. I have experience working as a school Crisis Counselor and continue to enjoy working with children and adolescents who may be struggling with mood disorders, ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or other social or school challenges. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, stress management, or parenting issues. In addition, I have a specialty in bariatric (weight loss surgery) evaluations and associated therapy issues.
My therapy style includes Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. I assist clients to achieve improved communication, self-care and coping skills, as well as improved self-esteem and control over their lives.
