For over twenty years before becoming a professional counselor, I was a public executive in six different Texas cities, holding positions as Public Works Department Head, Assistant City Manager and City Manager before finally ending my government career as a Director of Human Resources for the City of McAllen Texas to start my new counseling practice in 2005.
I deeply enjoy using this combined 40 years of experience to help provide training and consultation to build communication, teamwork, resilience, customer service, professional and personal effectiveness, stress-management and life balance skills in the workplace.
I offer free stress management/mental health lunch presentation to Texas Cities.
My consulting history includes and providing workshops and doing specific project-work on a case-by-case basis: One city used me to interview and report on work attitudes for every fire-fighter in their employ. Others have used me to faciliate strategic plans for the Economic Development, HR and Airport functions. I have worked with Finance and Police Records to develop customer-service cultures and have facilitated development services team-work process reviews and improvement.
As a licensed counselor, I have the ability to also offer expert guidance and facilitation using world class professional developmental tools and workshops for business and professional settings (non-clinical)
