My Work History

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, skilled in all aspects of psychotherapy with a diverse socio-economic, age, educational, and ethnic backgrounds. Experienced in supervisory skills. Highly skilled in DSM-V diagnosing. Skilled in public speaking, creative, analytical, and detailed oriented. I am a Certified Clinical Medical Support Hypnotherapist and Fellow of the International Board of Hypnotherapy. I am trained in many aspects of hypnotherapy.

Since 1990 I have been employed by various psychiatric hospitals and later, the Neuropsychiatric center where I teamed with psychiatrists completing crisis assessments I am licensed in Texas as a professional counselor since, demonstrating an exemplary record.

In 2008 I helped create the Crisis Intervention Response Team, riding with a Houston Police officer everyday responding to mental health calls. There was considerable interaction with the general public through NAMI, MHMRA, the Harris County courts and the Houston Council on Alcohol and Drugs. I am trained by the FBI in hostage negotiation and crisis de-escalation.

Almost 10 years ago, I decided to take my experience in a different direction, opening up my own private practice that includes both psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. Prior to making this decision I worked at The Harris Center (formerly MHMRA) for 20 years as a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner.

I have also served as adjunct instructor at Lone Star College for many years, teaching in both the fields of psychology and sociology. I am presented in different conferences and symposium nationwide.
