Great to meet you!

Welcome potential clients! I'm a licensed mental health counselor, with experience with an experience working with a spectrum of clients. My internship was spent at a state psychiatric hospital. I completed my post-graduate hours providing services to clients on parole and probation. I opened my private practice in 2022, and work with clients located in TX and WA. I do my best work with men's issues and clients who like a transparent and honest therapist.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize a solution focused and direct approach with my clients. I want my clients to feel comfortable in session, and show up as their true self (no need to censor around here!) I also use humor because when things get really heavy, it helps to take a moment to laugh and relax. I aim to provide a safe, inclusive space for all of my clients.

What you can expect from our first session

You came to me with a goal in mind, and while your childhood and past relationships are important to understand, we won't get hung up on the past. I like to leave my clients with a little "homework" after session. No, I don't mean worksheets. I mean a task or two to push you a little out of your comfort zone, because that's how we all grow.
