Providing restorative counseling & therapy and caring for the needs of others.
We all want to be happy. You may have tried therapy in the past, yet still can’t seem to find happiness. Therapy isn’t easy work, but overcoming your challenges and becoming a healthier and better you is possible.
Whatever your goals for therapy - mental health, a sense of connection, spiritual fulfillment, trauma resolution, or grief recovery - you can achieve them. I care deeply about you and truly believe in your ability to change and have a rich, full, and meaningful life.
I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Baylor University, and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Houston. My post graduate studies are in theology from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Dallas Theological Seminary. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am certified as a supervisor and supervisor trainer with the State of Texas. I also teach psychotherapy practice courses at the UH Graduate School of Social Work.
Throughout my career, I’ve developed expertise with many populations, issues, and treatment approaches. My specialty is helping adults and adolescents with an emphasis in psychological flexibility and mindfulness. I believe in therapy centered around value-guided, committed action and biblical principles.
I have been married to my lovely wife Lotus for 36 years, and have a daughter, three wonderful grandchildren, and 2 dogs. In my off hours you will most likely find me on my motorcycle, enjoying time with friends, or reading a good book.
I understand that my abilities as a counselor are gifts from God as part of my calling to bring restoration to the hurting. I ground my work in Biblical principles, and it is my distinct pleasure to work with those that God leads to my office.
