I'm so happy you're here and so happy that you're taking an important step towards positive change in your life. Nothing brings me more joy than to be able to be a part of your journey while we work towards your goals. I've been partnering with adults for the past 8 years in private practice as a licensed therapist and 3 years as a life coach working with college-aged adults. Former and current clients appreciate my honest straightforward approach to counseling as well as my ability to patiently and compassionately hold space for answers to emerge. The struggles of life are not meant to be all-consuming or overwhelming and as self-sufficient as most of us are, we all need help at some point. I know I've benefitted from being able to talk through my worries and concerns with the help of a trained therapist and know what the experience is like in either seat. I was trained in pastoral counseling and at Loyola University in Chicago and can assist if your concerns are more spiritual in nature and when they are not take a more traditional approach. I draw from relational schools of thought- psychodynamic, humanistic and Adlerian but apply them in a straightforward pragmatic fashion to keep the process brief and effective. Having been trained and educated in diverse settings, I have experience working with many different types of people with many different concerns. In particular, spiritual and religious questions, LGBT issues, anxiety and coping with grief and loss are areas that I can support you the most. I look forward to working with you as we take the next steps in your journey together.

I earned my graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in California in 2005, and my wife and I moved to Texas in 2009. My counseling style combines compassion and empathy with a solution-focused approach, utilizing various forms of mindfulness and cognitive-based therapies, such as acceptance commitment therapy, to explore how thoughts and coping styles influence how we manage our feelings. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, men's issues, trauma, and relationship issues; and, I help my clients to counter irrational thoughts and beliefs, assess their needs, build on their strengths, and focus on their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Hi, thanks for visiting my profile page. I am licensed to practice counseling in Texas and since 2016, on a part-time basis, have been helping various population groups in dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, & confidence. It has been a privilege for me to work with women survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking. I also enjoy accompanying the young adult population facing challenges relating to sexual behaviors, intergenerational issues, and family dynamics and boundaries. My approach is based on the belief that you are the expert of your story and you have the resiliency and strength to overcome life challenges. My part is to help you discover such strengths and develop concrete plans leading to a healthy self-image and lifestyle. I also believe that as humans, we have choices and are responsible for our decision-making. It is a matter of creating and intentionally taking on choices that are best for you – even when circumstances seemingly dictate otherwise. I am glad that you are here. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy is a huge undertaking and I wish you peace and courage!
