About Counseling (832) 589 - 0750
Long-lasting change happens one step at a time. I'm here to help you take steps toward improving your life and relationships. Through our work together, I'll help you notice behavior patterns that may be keeping you stuck in painful cycles of interaction. We all interact in systems with different people, personalities, environments, wants and needs. That's why I use the 'systems theory' framework to understand my clients and their interactions with others.
