Hello, Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about my views and me. I am devoted husband and father of three. I currently resides in Houston, TX.

My path to becoming a therapist started at a very young age. During lunchtime in preschool, my classmates would stand in line and wait to talk to me. We talked about the woes of preschool life, playtime squabbles and anything else our little minds were wrapped around. What keeps me going now is my passion for helping others, who like myself, have experienced trauma.

If you have been traumatized in the past, by a relationship, an incident, an accident, something that seems unforgivable and unmanageable to you, even now, I can help. If you find yourself experiencing emotional pain, hopelessness and loss of connectedness, I can help. I can help by helping you to begin to treasure yourself, first for surviving, and eventually for learning to flourish, through good times and bad. I can help by providing you a safe and supportive space to let your mind wonder and find answers to your inner most questions about yourself and your experiences, whether past or present.

This initial session will provide you with the opportunity to have your questions answered about the therapy process and get a feel for how I am as a therapist. I am also available by email to answer any questions.

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of human connection and the transformative impact of feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. Life can be overwhelming, and I wanted to create a space where people feel safe to explore their struggles, build resilience, and regain a sense of control. What motivates me to continue is witnessing the growth and healing of my clients—seeing them develop self-compassion, confidence, and the tools to navigate life’s challenges. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a reminder of why this work matters.

When I was in high school, I developed a strong curiosity for understanding relationships (both my own and others). It's because of this that I pursued my Bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Pre-Counseling and Therapy. The primary reason I became a therapist was due to my own experience with anxiety individually and in my relationships with others. I wanted to further understand how to manage it, and also to improve my relationships so anxiety was interfering. I believe that having the support of others is essential in learning to manage and confront challenges and difficulties in life.
