Great to meet you!

Greetings! My name is Charles, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in the state of Texas. It has been my life’s passion to support and encourage individuals in living their fullest life and healing from past trauma.

I have experience in counseling and working in social work settings and have been able to work with an array of amazing individuals ranging from couples, children, veterans of foreign wars, and families.

My approach to therapy

I am an eclectic therapist who takes from different theories and methods in the realm of counseling psychology, like trauma-informed perspectives and mindfulness-focused interventions. Together we can begin this journey!

What you can expect from me

It is important to remember that counseling is just a conversation... with a purpose. The purpose is for our clients to have a safe/non-judgmental space to talk about what is going on in their life and my sole aim is to support and encourage you on this journey to explore sometimes unspoken stresses and anxieties that can come up in life.
