I don't currently accept insurance, but I can provide documentation if clients wish to submit to an insurance company for "out of network" benefit coverage
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.
My Practice & Services
My Ph.D. is from the University of Texas-Austin in 1975. I have been a licensed Psychologist since January 1977. I have been married for over 35 years to a woman who is also a licensed Psychologist. I have four grown children and ten grandchildren.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I have considerable experience working with couples and other relationships, including issues such as affairs, addictions, sexual problems, in-law problems, separation, divorce, and remarriage.
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.
