Are you a veteran or former military. Are you a first responder? If you are currently stationed in or live in Texas and are in need of discrete mental health services I may be able to help you. For my active duty brothers and sisters I can help you get your mental health diagnosis prior to ETS so that you have documented recorded that coinside with your service for the VA raters. If you are looking for someone that has walked that mile in your shews and understands your dark humor and language look no further.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, children, corporate professionals, students, and seniors.
Have you ever felt helpless, hopeless, powerless, worthless, lost, alone or confused? How about angry, hurt, frustrated or sad? Then you are not alone. Counseling helped me and my family after a tragedy to redefine our journey and know that our story was not over. Strangely enough, because of this tragedy, I have learned to live in excitement of what the next page of my story will be. As a therapist, I now have the opportunity to help other people know their story is not over and help to write their next page.

As a therapist I have worked with college students, adults, veterans, and couples: that is to say individuals managing the ups and downs of life.
Clients don't seek therapy when their life is going great. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to healing along with research backed techniques and tools. Clients tell me that my qualities of being a good listener, non-judgmental, and truly caring about the welfare of them made sessions easier and more fulfilling.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
