I am a Licensed Psychologist who has been in practice for over 25 years.  My practice uses innovative, culturally-sensitive clinical methods. We openly discuss the rationale for all clinical approaches and strategies.  My practice encourages active, collaborative participation. The bottom-line is a sensible, practical, and goal-focused approach.  I practice as a Systems-Oriented Therapist, integrated within the principles and practices of Systems-Centered® Therapy.  Progress in psychotherapy is evaluated weekly using MyOutcomes and the OQ System.

My experience includes 20 years serving as a Senior Psychologist at the Georgia Tech Counseling Center, 20 years of private practice, Pre-Doctoral Internship at the Dallas Child Guidance Clinic, and Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the Dallas VA Chemical Addiction Program.  As a "System’s-Oriented Therapist," I maintain adherence and  continuous training within the Systems-Centered Training & Research Institute  (SCTRI).  I have presented at psychotherapy and addiction recovery conferences and serve on local advisory boards.  
 
On-line listings for my practice may be found through a number of websites.  These include the Georgia Psychological Association and American Psychological Association, and the National Health Service Psychologists, a certification entitled only for psychology graduates of doctoral programs and internships approved by the American Psychological Association.  You also find on-line listings with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists.

Educational Background

     

Please Note:  My practice respects religion and spirituality. Religious and faith community/practices provide a framework for building upon the values we hold dear.  I am not a spiritual counselor; I ecumenically support religious and spiritual practices if present.
