Therapeutic Connections

My first passion is therapy and the therapeutic relationship with my clients. A close second, is my relationship with my colleagues. I look forward to coffee consultations with my local colleagues here in Texas and phone consults with my colleagues back in California. I enjoy supervising LMFT Associates and teaching introductory level Psychology courses at the local college. I value connection with people and the healing power of that connection. I am trained in several different formal theoretical models, but I keep coming back to Irvin Yalom's sentiment that "It's the relationship that heals"- nothing affects a client more than the "here and now" of the therapy session and that the bond that forms between therapist and client is the most important aspect of healing.
