About

As a Therapist, my passion is helping others meet their goals. If you’re feeling depressed, anxious or isolated, or you’re overwhelmed by traumatic events or broken relationships, I’d be honored to walk with you as you take the first step toward a new life filled with hope, purpose and freedom. Even the strongest person can feel lost, ashamed, unworthy or unhappy at times. I am committed to fostering a safe, nonjudgmental environment, one where we can work together to help you get the tools needed to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

While I see a wide variety of issues, my specialities include trauma, anxiety, depression, substance/pornography addiction, sexual addiction, self-esttem, anger, and a wide variety of other mens issues. My training and experience enable me to use a variety of therapeutic clinical tools, such as compassionate/ empathetic listening, positive unconditional respect for the client, emotional regulation/coping skills for a variety of overwhelming emotions (anxiety/depression/anger/guilt/shame), and self-esteem therapies. Other more clinical therapies I utilize are EMDR, CBT, TCBT AND DBT.

My undergraduate degree is from Midwestern State University and has an emphasis in counseling, psychology, theology, and biology. Additionally, I have a Master’s degree from Dallas Baptist University in Counseling.

I have highly specialized training in TCBT and EMDR, and they are widely considered two of the most effective treatments for small to large adverse life circumstances or small to large trauma events that result in anxiety, restlessness, depression, intense emotions, negative self-beliefs (such as unlovable, unworthy, useless, a failure), excessive guilt, nightmares and addiction that can stem from going through difficult life circumstances. These events can be as simple as undergoing rejection or as complex as undergoing abuse, military service, or losing a loved one. I offer a professional, engaging and empowering counseling relationship where we work together to confront these issues. Counseling may be done from a Christian or non-faith based perspective.

When I’m not counseling, I’m usually spending time in the great outdoors hiking, fishing, kayaking, and camping. I also enjoy hanging out at home with friends, watching movies, listening to music, and grilling out.

I realize therapy can be intimidating, but as we work together, I believe we can get you to a better place. I invite you to take the first step toward becoming healthy by connecting with me today.
