My style tends to be active and at times directive, especially in working with couples. Most couples work is short-term: I aim to help couples improve their communication and conflict resolution skills and that generally is enormously helpful in improving their relationship. Much of my work is Psycho-educational in that I feel most people have had poor training in how to have a healthy relationship. I believe that with education, direct intervention, and practice they can achieve a happier, healthier way to relate to each other.
Groups I work with
In my private practice I work primarily with couples and relationship problems, including sex therapy. I spent the last 11 years as Director of the counseling center at University of Houston. I am now available full-time, but have some evening and Saturday times available. I am both a licensed Psychologist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have taught Marriage and Family Counseling classes and currently train Psychologists.
