Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Harker Heights, TX

I am 55 years old with 26 years of professional experience. My approach can be very genuine, direct, and honest and while I may not always tell you "what you want to hear," I will provide feedback based on what is best to hear to help improve your insight into your problems.

I am glad you found me, and you found this website. To me, that shows that you are ready to make a change in your life. My goal for you in therapy is to live a happier life every day. We are not guaranteed a lot in life, but my goal is to give you the power to enjoy what we do have influence on. I am a human just like you, and my approach is the same.

Life can look perfectly fine on the outside while feeling overwhelming underneath. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, constantly overthinking, burned out, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to finally make sense of what's going on.

I bring curiosity, honesty, and practical insight into every session. Rather than giving generic advice or simply asking, "How does that make you feel?" we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, identify what's actually changeable, and build strategies that fit your life. I'll challenge you when it's helpful, support you when it's needed, and create a space where you can be completely yourself without worrying about being judged or getting it "right."
