Professional Philosophy

Since completion of my graduate studies at Southern Methodist University, my clinical background has spanned diverse therapeutic settings, from managing high-acuity psychiatric cases to partnering with high-performing professionals. Having founded and directed clinical operations for a multi-site outpatient center across five locations, I have refined an understanding of what truly drives progress. I am here to challenge your perspectives and reflect reality, a direct approach that consistently yields meaningful results.
