About Our Company

Founder and Director of HCEW

As the founder and director of the Houston Center for Emotional Wellness, I create emotional wellness programs that offer insights into psychological theory and behavioral tools that are designed to help participants increase their emotional wellness and resilience.

These seminars have their foundations in the theory and research of the discipline of Psychology. I have professional experience working as a clinical psychologist providing psychological assessment and clinical treatment to individuals in mental health and medical health outpatient settings. My experience teaching Psychology at the Undergraduate level has informed and inspired my program development.

At this time, I teach part time as an Adjunct Professor at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX.

I have received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Syracuse University and am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.. I value a scientific knowledge. I integrate techniques that are supported by psychological research into the HCEW educational programs.

The seminars, retreats, and all emotional wellness programs include contemplative techniques that all participants to create inner space for personal clarity and play a rol e in helping participants connect with their inner self and intuitive intelligence.

My perspective and understanding of the world has been shaped by my life experiences, studies in the discipline of psychology, as well as my study of the “Seven Spiritual Truths”, a course taught by Helen Barton 2012 - 2015. Moreover, in 2011, I trained as a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) instructor.

Over the past 20 years, i have presented emotional wellness seminars to academic, corporate, and community audiences.

How Our Company Began

This business was birthed in the living room of my parent’s home. My mother invited her sisters over to the house and the four of them became my first community-based audience. I stepped in my new role as teacher, sharing what I had learned about emotional wellness and stress reduction.

Over the past 20 years, in my spare time, I have constructed and presented emotional wellness education seminars with academic, corporate, and community audiences.
