Message from Therapist

I provide comprehensive counseling to adult individuals, adolescents, couples and families in an environment where our shared Catholic faith is not only respected but also used as an adjunct to counseling.

My focus is to assist you and/or your family to pursue your God-given potential and to achieve a healthy and personally fulfilling life.


Practice Info

Bio:
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and a trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist.

I hold degrees in engineering physics (BS, Cornell University), chemical engineering (PhD, Texas Tech), and Professional Counseling (MA, Amberton University).

I studied engineering physics at Cornell University on an ROTC scholarship. I came to Texas with the United States Air Force and served as both a navigator on the KC-135A Stratotanker and as a base bioenvironmental engineer. After military service, I completed graduate school in chemical engineering at Texas Tech and then went to work in industry.

During my career in various industries, I became concerned by the number of my coworkers who suffered from depression and anxiety and was inspired to become a mental health professional. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Amberton University and completed the practicum in a geriatric psychiatric hospital.

As a husband, father, and working professional, I draw on my own life experiences and include professional therapeutic techniques to collaborate with clients in overcoming obstacles in their careers, married life, parenting, and individual lives. For those clients who would like to integrate their Catholic spirituality in their journeys to heal and grow, I include prayer, scripture, and spiritual reading as part of the therapeutic process.
