Admitting you are not happy is an incredibly difficult act in an American culture that values strength and toughness (this can be especially true for men).
I took a untraditional path to the field of counseling. After returning to Austin in 2017, I started my own law practice. During this work, I enjoyed talking with my clients about the issues in their lives more than the legal work. Combined with my own experiences in the mental health world, I decided to switch fields and I haven't looked back.

Operating from an orientation which draws primarily on a combination of contemporary psychoanalytic, attachment, and neurobiological perspectives, I am fully committed to walking with you on your journey toward greater satisfaction and fulfillment.

For many men, turning to Pornhub, OnlyFans, cam sites, or even Instagram creates a growing emotional gap, eroding trust, intimacy and connection.

I work primarily with individual men struggling with stress, anger, depression, anxiety, fatherhood, or masculinity.
Something isn't working. Maybe the conflict, or lack of connection, in your relationship is leaving you hurt and hopeless. Or you've taken the hard step of ending a relationship, but now don't know how to avoid making the same mistakes with your next one. Perhaps, like many, the last few years have left you stressed and burnt out at work, and you're looking for a new sense of purpose or meaning. Maybe, on paper, everything looks good, yet you still aren't happy. It's easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged; to not know what to do.

I am licensed as a clinical social and chemical dependency counselor in both the state of Texas and Washington with over 10 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, men, women in outpatient to inpatient/residential settings.
Life is messy and complex. We all want to bring order into many areas of our lives. Where we miss the mark is thinking the goal is to completely solve every issue so we don't experience pain or suffering. Personally, professional or romantically we are going to have deficits. And along with that are the trappings of guilt, shame, fear and anxiety about them and even how to deal with them. But once you have done the work that brought you here originally you will be able to navigate life more effectively. And we both know you can live with that.

Cis- male human here.
Therapy shouldn’t feel hollow or performative. Maybe you’ve had a therapist rely on clichés like, “holding space” without sincerity. Or you’ve avoided therapy altogether, fearing judgment or detachment. You’re here because patterns in your life won’t change, and the weight of wondering if it’s all your fault—or some cosmic punishment— sucks. You’re starting to see where your parents fucked up, and how it’s on you to fix it, but you want someone who will truly care and challenge you to fight for yourself.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
