About Me

The “Credentials”

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas, with a Master of Education degree in Professional Counseling from Lamar University and an undergraduate degree in ministry from Arlington Baptist University.

I became a therapist because I care about helping others to resolve the difficulties they’re facing in life, overcome their struggles, and find healing and change.

My therapy style mostly focuses on solutions and strategies for helping to improve responses to life’s challenges. I utilize a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy/Choice Theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help people explore new ways of looking at, understanding, and resolving the problems they are facing.

The Fun Stuff

In my free time I enjoy being outdoors and doing things that don’t really require much thinking – yard work, working out, running, hiking, kayaking, fishing. I love nature and greatly enjoy being in creation, as it helps to keep me calm and regulated and helps me against anxiety.

I am married to my beautiful wife of 17 years and we have three kids – age 13 and younger. We keep a backyard full of animals – dogs, goats, and chickens – and spend much of our time either fixing something at home or traveling to get away from home!

I play the bass guitar in my church’s worship band and occasionally get to be a guest speaker at various churches and Bible studies.

I love helping others (sometimes to a fault!) and would love the opportunity to work with you in whatever place you find yourself in. Please reach out using the contact button below if you have any questions about my counseling practice.
