Great to meet you!

I am a husband and father of four children and as a result of that I can relate very well to parents and children that are struggling with a variety of issues in life. I have also been trained in Biblical Counseling. I am a Master Telecommunicator through the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) and have been working as a 911 Dispatcher for over 13 years and am currently working as a Dispatcher. This gives me a unique perspective in working with first responders in a counseling setting.

My approach to therapy

I am a traditional conservative Christian which deeply impacts my counseling style and is where I derive a lot of my views in counseling. I try to make things as casual and keep things as relaxed as possible to make clients felt as comfortable as possible.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel at peace and with a clear understanding of the fact that they are not crazy, weak, or bad for thinking and feeling what they are thinking and feeling.
