Great to meet you!

It's my experience that we're all on a journey. A journey of discovery and growth. I've been deeply involved with 12 Step Programs for almost 40 years and spent 10 years working as a Contract Combat Stress Counselor in the deserts and mountains of the Iraq and Afghanistan war zones, from 2004 to 2014. These kinds of work and the entire adventure my life help me understand and relate to our full human experience. This, along with my having worked to become a Master's Level Therapist in Texas (LPC) make me a valuable aide to people working on areas such as Post Traumatic Stress, Substance or Process Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, and Co-dependency.

My approach to therapy

I take a whole person - positive -dynamic approach to my therapeutic work with people. Always seeking to empower and deepen their ability to live life fully - with ever more peace, power, and harmony.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions we'll seek to name it (as close to the core issue as we can discover)...claim it...and overcome it. We'll strive to uncover the deeper/unconscious parts of the psyche that tend to drive our lives. Each session will be an opportunity to do this uncovering, discovering, recovering work, together.
