I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with

over 10 years of experience helping

people work through life challenges and

the negative thought processes that keep

them stuck. A lot of my work is about

helping clients become emotionally

resilient, using mindfulness and other

practical tools from the theories that fit

each person best. If you're carrying

anxiety, unresolved trauma,

or strain in your closest relationships, you

don't have to sort it out on your own. I

work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a

lot of men who didn't expect therapy to

be for them.

I work with those who are juggling the demands of work, relationships, family, and everyday life while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or never quite "good enough."

I find the best work I do is simply when I connect with a client. I have my masters from SMU and have done specialized training in Gottman, EFT, and sex therapy.
