Change is inevitable in life. My work as a counselor helps you make positive changes in your life and understand any barriers to making progress.
Oftentimes, a precursor to change is strife, difficulty, and confusion about what we truly want. Discerning what we desire – what fills us with vitality- is the work of psychotherapy. It can be difficult to know what we want if we’re stuck in habits, relationships, or patterns that no longer serve us or exist only to help us numb ourselves. Our minds crave novelty, but they also desire stability. But when stability turns to rigidity turns to stagnation – it becomes time for compassionate self-examination.

I work with a broad spectrum of clients, including non-traditional relationships (such as poly/open), premarital couples, and those exploring alternative sexuality (kink/fetish). My expertise extends to addressing communication challenges, family dynamics, sex and sexuality issues, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. As an LGBTQ+ affirming and Kink affirming therapist, I offer a supportive and practical approach, integrating various methods to provide personalized solutions. To name a few approaches I utilize: IFS, Out of Control Sexual Behaviors approach, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with couples, the Gottman theory, psychodynamic, somatic work, and a positive sex therapy approach.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and practical skill-building. I use evidence-based techniques, particularly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing healthier ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and life challenges.
I strive to create a supportive space where clients – especially minority men – can openly explore their experiences, build emotional awareness, and work toward meaningful change.

I am an eclectic therapist that uses techniques that are best suited to each individual client. My style is to let the client lead the treatment; however, I do help my clients stay accountable for the goals they are wanting to achieve. I enjoy working with individuals wanting to be their best selves while still protecting themselves. I have experience working with men’s issues, depression, anxiety, sexual issues and other concerns.

I specialize in helping men manage anxiety, infidelity, couple’s issues, trauma, and PTSD. I mainly use Solution-Focused Therapy as an approach, a model that focuses on strengths, resilience, and achieving goals. I am also EMDR trained. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an effective therapy for healing trauma, stress, and negative patterns. Using guided eye movements, it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. I also sub-specialize in those in the first responder profession.

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, I have found that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component. I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week.

Hey guys, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a guy with lived experience overcoming and healing from mental health struggles. My expertise is in trauma focused therapy as I’ve found most mental health issues involve going through extremely difficult experiences and high levels of stress. My approach is to meet where you are, help you gain stability and hope in your current situation, and address any issues from the past so you can move forward and thrive in the life you truly want and deserve.

You’ve likely done a lot of things “right”. From career to relationships, even past therapy – but does something feel off? Maybe you might feel disconnected, burned out, or like you’re performing a role rather than living your life. I specialize in working with men like you who are striving to reconcile their past, find meaning in their present, and create a more fulfilling future. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, life transitions, or substance issues, therapy can be a powerful space to get out of your head and reconnect with yourself.

The majority of my research and practice has centered around issues with masculinity, and I am especially passionate about providing services to men of color. I understand being in therapy can be difficult – it’s you being vulnerable, meeting a new person, breaking cultural and societal barriers, and getting to know parts of yourself that you’d maybe intentionally turned away from. My goal as a psychologist is to connect with, walk beside, and consistently challenge you in the goals you have set for yourself… and to help you identify a place to start when the goal may not be clear yet.
