Men's Issues Therapists in Round Rock, TX
I often see couples who are stuck and running out of hope. "What's going on?" "The world says we're supposed to be okay being alone, but I feel miserable and alone." "What happened to us?" "How did we get here?" "We were never supposed to be those ‘other couples’."
Relationships can become painful and unsettling. And so disappointing. The good news is relationship injuries can be repaired. And, you can have the hopes and dreams you’ve long since dismissed as a pleasant fantasy.

Immediate openings for mid-day...I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, and a sense of direction in life. Life can be challenging, and it’s not always clear how to make sense of what you’re feeling or what to do next. I help people better understand their thoughts and emotions so they can make clearer decisions and, at times, change the direction of their lives. I also help individuals who have difficulty sleeping, using CBT-I with training from the University of Pennsylvania Sleep Center, to help reset sleep patterns and address insomnia.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. I show up fully, with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. I believe love, wholeness, and authentic connection are already inside you. Sometimes, developmental and relational wounds create protective barriers that disconnect us from these truths. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, but about gently uncovering the life that is already seeking expression. Together, we work with both cognitive insight and somatic awareness, noticing how the mind and body have adapted in protective ways. From this place of awareness, you can reclaim lost parts of your true self.

For a lot of people, navigating emotional reactions can feel big and scary for lots of reasons. Maybe you don't know how to express them well and that's causing friction in your relationships, or maybe the fact that you have emotions at all makes you uncomfortable.
What I do really well is help people navigate emotional regulation and expression. Getting stuck in emotional cycles? I can help with that. Struggling to maintain relationships? I can help with that. And because I'm a pragmatist, the most important and guiding principle in my work is the question "does this actually work for me?"

I was in the United States Marine Corps from 1998 to 2003 and during this time I learned a great deal about myself and became more culturally diverse during my time in the Marines. During my third year of service, I became injured at Officers Candidate School and realized that I needed to develop my counseling skills so I worked with an agency that counseled teens regarding their addiction. I have been in the social services field for the past twenty years and have been licensed for the past 10 years.

Many of the men I work with appear steady and capable on the outside but feel anxious, pressured, or disconnected beneath the surface. They may struggle with overthinking, irritability, emotional shutdown, or coping patterns like overworking, drinking, or compulsive behaviors. They want relief from the internal pressure and stronger relationships at home. Their goal isn’t just to “function better,” but to feel more grounded, clear, and in control of their responses.

Welcome to a space where growth, healing, and self-discovery are at the center of the work. I specialize in supporting men and teens who want to feel more grounded, connected, and purposeful — both within themselves and in their relationships with others.
Many of the men I work with come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of disconnection, frustration, or uncertainty. They might struggle with identity, self-worth, communication, or the weight of always being expected to "have it together." Others are navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, or past experiences that never fully healed.

You're the one people call when things fall apart. You answer, you handle it, and somewhere in there you stopped noticing how tired you are. From the outside the job is fine, the family is fine, you're fine. But sleep is thin, patience is thinner, and there's a low static that never fully turns off. Most of the adults I work with across Texas don't arrive in crisis. They arrive worn down, a little embarrassed to be here, and privately certain they should be able to fix this alone. That belief is usually the thing holding it in place. Anxiety, depression, and burnout don't answer to willpower. They answer to better tools.

Life piles it on—work, family, expectations. If you’re stressed, burned out, or stuck—whether it’s anxiety, low mood, or old habits like anger, procrastination, or numbing out—you’re not alone. Perhaps communication keeps breaking down, or you’re facing a major transition and questioning who you are or what matters most.
Change doesn’t come from wishful thinking or quick fixes. It comes from real work and practical tools that move you forward. Whether you want to get back to the old you or push past limits, I’ll call it like I see it and help you feel clearer, calmer, and more connected to your partner, your purpose, and yourself.

Have you experienced trauma in your life? Are you continuing to live with the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or grief? Or are you a man who is wishing to better understand yourself or your relationships? I believe it is important to understand the goals of each individual and customize therapy to those desired outcomes. Therapy is a collaborative process in which both client and therapist are active participants, working together to reach the goals of the client. I believe it is crucial in this work to create treatment plans that identify where clients are now, where they want to be, and how we plan to get there.

Couples often begin therapy feeling exhausted by the distance that has quietly grown between them. Communication becomes guarded or volatile, resentment lingers beneath everyday interactions, and the relationship that once felt grounding now feels fragile or painfully disconnected. Even deeply committed partners can become trapped in cycles of criticism, defensiveness, withdrawal, or mistrust, leaving both people feeling unseen and emotionally unsafe. Many couples are not simply seeking less conflict, but a relationship that feels close, secure, and alive again.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
