LGBT therapists in Texas

I am a former educator who specializes in anxiety/depression. As such, I enjoy supporting clients working through stress, anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and behavior regulation. I take a holistic, personalized approach and enjoy using technology and behavioral insights to support lasting growth.

I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in trauma-informed care. I support individuals in building self-determination and addressing maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with clinical experience providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a range of mental health concerns, including trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal difficulties. I have worked with diverse populations and across varying levels of clinical acuity.

My clinical approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, integrating cognitive-behavioral and skills-focused interventions to support emotional regulation, symptom management, and insight development. I prioritize establishing a therapeutic environment that is collaborative, structured, and emotionally safe, allowing clients to engage in treatment at an appropriate and clinically indicated pace.

I am committed to providing ethical, client-centered care and supporting individuals across the lifespan in improving psychological functioning, resilience, and overall well-being.

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

It’s so nice to meet you. I believe that taking care of your mental health is an important part of living a balanced and fulfilling life. As a licensed professional counselor, I’ve spent years helping children, teens, and adults work through challenges like depression, anxiety, and everyday stress. My goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you can feel comfortable, understood, and ready to take steps toward feeling better.

If your internal world feels chaotic, fractured, or heavy, finding a place to land can feel impossible. Maybe you are carrying the weight of complex trauma, navigating a world not built for your neurodivergent brain, or feeling completely disconnected from your own body.

You might feel hesitant to trust a male therapist with your story—especially if your past includes relational trauma, spiritual abuse, or high-control environments. I completely understand. At Quiet Harbor Counseling, safety isn’t something I preach; it is something we build together through steady, respectful, and non-judgmental action.

As a lead therapist with clinical director responsibilities within intensive treatment settings, my days are spent managing complex clinical care. In my private practice, I bring that exact high-level expertise, administrative precision, and deep trauma training directly to you. I specialize in providing a dedicated, affirming refuge where you can feel entirely seen, heard, and empowered to live a self-reliant life.

My primary focus is the restoration of the nervous system. I specialize in supporting recovery from complex, relational, and medical trauma. Because trauma impacts every layer of how we function, my practice also centers on the deeply connected challenges that come with it—including severe anxiety, chronic stress, mood fluctuations, complex personality patterns, and the profound journey of grief and loss.
