A pleasure to meet you! Therapy with me is about co-creating a hearth - a therapeutic space for warmth, restoration, and growth along life’s journeys. I work with individuals and families who have experienced the effects of anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, relational trauma, and complex trauma. These effects often leave us in chaotic cycles of either burning things to the ground or feeling cold and alone. I also am passionate about working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD and Autism) who have maybe felt outcast in their search for connection. Together, we rest and reflect on whatever creating a warm home means to you.

You're tired of therapy that stays on the surface. You've done the coping skills. You've talked through the symptoms. And yet the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships, in your inner world, in the gap between who you are inside and who you show up as.
You might be neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or just wired differently than most people around you. Either way, you've been going it alone for too long.
I specialize in deep, relational, experiential work with adults who are ready to stop performing and start understanding themselves. No scripts. No surface-level check-ins. Just real, engaged, transformative therapy.

I specialize in outsiders, those who think differently, live intensely, or feel too unconventional for standard therapy. From high performers to those hearing voices: if your thoughts run deep, your moods run strong, or your experiences feel unusual, you’re in the right place. I’ve helped clients stabilize mood swings, overcome depression, manage hallucinations, and earn promotions. Having faced PTSD myself, I know how dark life can seem, and how hope can return. Together, we’ll play detective, unearth the roots of your struggles, and optimize interventions that resonate with you. Accepting new clients. In-person sessions available.

Whether you are feeling stuck or completely lost, counseling can be a great tool for change. I look forward to working with you.

The bottom line is this: psychotherapy should be affordable, smart, efficient, and caring.
As I practice it, counseling involves helping persons understand their own nature and, especially, their desires and needs. Counseling offers a sanctuary for persons to sort out their lives and more intimately explore their direct experience. My practice is dedicated to the process of authentic transformation, arising from the client's and therapist's co-exploration of "what is."

Change in our lives is inevitable. The transition periods between times of stability in our lives are more common then we often care to admit. These transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, depression and other current and long standing psychological issues. I started my clinical practice in 1989 in Austin, Texas and specialize in helping adult individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions due to significant changes occurring in their lives.

If you feel like you’ve tried every "calm-down corner," sticker chart, and deep-breathing exercise only to end up back at square one, you aren’t alone. You don’t need years of talk therapy to see a shift in your home. You need a battle-tested plan and the confidence to lead it. I work with motivated parents who are ready to trade "hope it works" for "know it works." Using scientifically backed strategies that have been refined by real families, we’ll map out why meltdowns are happening and build a roadmap to stop them.

Only the brave become wise. Wisdom is the most prized possession, yet few have it and we tend to imagine them as old, having learned from seasons of suffering and reflection. In my practice, I teach others how to understand themselves and become more wise, so that they can live well, without the pains of past or present experiences. Many seek me out to address trauma, addiction, severe anxiety, or relationship issues. These and other psychological experiences are opportunities for learning about the self and growing. And it is my experience that a child, adult, couple, or family can grow more wise together.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
