Therapy for trauma is like having a trusted guide alongside you as you navigate through a dense and tangled forest. It’s about creating a space where you’re not alone in facing the shadows of past experiences. It’s a journey we embark on together, focusing on untangling the knots of painful memories, soothing the storms of emotions, and gradually finding paths toward healing. We’ll use different approaches tailored to your unique needs. It’s like having a toolbox filled with strategies to help you regain a sense of safety, manage overwhelming feelings, and gradually piece together a new narrative that puts you back in control.

I believe successful therapy depends on clients honestly sharing their experiences and behavior. Yet many clients struggle to articulate their feelings, sharing these feelings with a stranger, even a therapist, can be difficult. It takes time for a therapist to earn a client’s trust. My goal is to build a therapeutic relationship with you to enhance a safer and supportive therapeutic environment.

The time has come to take the first step in mental healing. You no longer have to struggle alone or be confused about what to do. As a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I will make it my personal duty to support you in reaching your personal goals and assisting you to living a happy life.

When we reach the limits of our emotional pain tolerance, we may see that the way we’ve been coping with our stress and pain is not sustainable. This can look like disordered eating, self-harm, self-medicating, perfectionism, self-sabotage, or isolation. This realization is particularly hard when our ways of coping feel like a lifeline and the idea of change feels at best theoretical and at worst like an invitation for impending doom. Our inner beliefs of being unworthy, unlovable, unsafe, out of control, and powerless ensure that we keep choosing the same self-destructive coping strategies over and over.

Less than 16% of therapists in Texas are male, which may very well be why so many men don’t go to therapy. I specialize in men’s issues including fatherhood, life transitions and stigma.
