I provide comprehensive counseling to adults, adolescents, couples, and families in an environment where our shared Catholic faith is not only respected but also used as an adjunct to counseling. I offer therapy and counseling services exclusively by telehealth to Texas residents. I assist with a wide range of life problems: trauma, addiction (both substances and processes, such as pornography), codependency, family of origin issues, careers, chronic pain, and unwanted same sex attraction. I offer counseling for men who have been harmed by circumcision. I provide mental health support for people who are being assisted by the deliverance ministry.

I use cognitive/behavioral and developmental approaches to therapy, and support clients who want to incorporate their spirituality in counseling. I encourage clients to take initiative and to develop insight during the healing process. I help clients challenge the old way of thinking, explore the origins of psychological wounds, and take ethical action.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), a trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, and a certified clinical trauma professional. 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, serving as both a navigator on the KC-135A Stratotanker and a base bioenvironmental engineer. After completing my military service, I pursued graduate studies in chemical engineering at Texas Tech and then entered the industry. I retired from industry in May 2024, and now I am practicing full-time as a therapist. 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 a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Amberton University and completed the practicum in a geriatric psychiatric hospital. I draw on my own life experiences and include validated 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.
