If you are inevitably experiencing a life transition and/or any associated grief, loss, anxiety and depression there is no need to continue to suffer. I'm an affirming companion that provides a safe space to help you increase openness to the experience of life, and confront barriers to develop insight-driven movement. We will work to delve into those thoughts and feelings that vex you, identify a diverse understanding and coping skill acquisition that serves you beyond the therapy office.


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working inpatient and outpatient setting with adults and teens. I focus on life transitions we experience at all stages of life, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression and all other problems that can be related. My approach is client-centered that puts your unique experience at the center and makes our work very collaborative. I also utilize complimentary tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and many others based on what best suits your own unique experience. I am also Board Certified Grief Counselor (GC-C). This specialization helps me to assist people in working through the 4 tasks of the mourning process as well as helping people navigate the mediators and barriers that lead to complicated mourning. This necessary process works to help alleviate suffering, make meaning in life and to reinvest in life while maintaining connection with who or what you may have lost.


Many symptoms we experience come from our way of perceiving the world and have been learned through any number of good and bad experiences. I believe exploring everyone's unique journey with them has always been one that speaks to my inner sense of purpose. By going down your unique inner world, my role is to be that objective accepting reflection pool that welcomes you to really examine all aspects of yourself and how you exist in your world. To work with someone as they explore any loss of purpose or a sense of isolation from themselves or others and be there to foster their way to meaning making and mastery over their suffering is one of the most uplifting experiences in my personal and professional life.

Hi, I’m a licensed professional counselor and the founder of Transformed Therapy in Houston, TX. Since 2008, I’ve been walking alongside individuals, and families as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, spiritual concerns, and major life transitions. While I work with men and women, as well as children and teens, a large part of my work is focused on helping men who are facing internal battles—feeling stuck, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of how to lead well in their families, careers, and personal lives.

Whether you're carrying stress silently, dealing with anger or shame, questioning your purpose, or struggling to be the individual you want to be, I provide a place where you can be honest, real, and heard. My approach is practical, faith-centered, and grounded in personal accountability, growth, and grace.

Before launching Transformed Therapy, I served as Director at Memorial Christian Counseling Center and CEO at Integrative Mental Health Solutions, leading crisis response teams across Houston. I also spent 11 years in full-time ministry as a youth and outreach minister, which deeply shaped my commitment to soul care and spiritual restoration.

I hold a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of North Texas and a BA in Philosophy from UT Arlington. When I’m not in session, I’m spending time outdoors with my wife and our five kids—camping, fishing, gardening, or simply enjoying God's creation.

If you're ready to step into change—whether it’s for your mental health, your marriage, your faith, or your identity—I’d be honored to walk with you.

You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.
