More about me:
Whatever your challenge may be, I believe we all have the ability to adapt and overcome life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves to receive compassionate and respectful care. Therefore, this is my number one goal as your counselor. This means your needs, goals, personal wellbeing, and privacy are my main concern. I enjoy working with children (starting at 8 years old), pre-teens, teens, adults, couples, and families. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, anger management, grief, life changes, crisis, developmental growth, attachment and relational issues are just a few of my areas of focus.
I utilize a wide variety of therapeutic techniques and theories including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self-awareness training, mindfulness training, guided relaxation, and systematic desensitization. I believe each person is a unique individual who has had unique experiences. Therefore, their therapy should be unique and individualized as well. This means our sessions will be collaborative in nature and we’ll discuss treatment plans and make decisions together. Lastly, I believe all therapy should be measurable. While working together, we will identify large goals and small goals designed to transition you from where you are, to where you want to be. We will use a host of self-report assessments, inventories, and evaluations to measure your progress towards these goals throughout our time together. This approach helps us to maximize our efforts and see growth and improvement much faster!

I obtained my Master of Counseling degree from East Texas Baptist University. I have experience in working in a variety of settings including, acute inpatient stabilization, emergency rooms, rehabilitation, partial hospitalization, and outpatient programs. Some of my accomplishments include certification as a nonviolent crisis prevention instructor, assisting with the development of negotiation and de-escalation training programs for law enforcement divisions within Gregg County (many of which are still used today), and developing admission and referral processes for psychiatric patients within the ER at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, TX.
My family and I live here in Argyle. My wife grew up in Argyle, while I grew up in a similar community just south of DFW. We love the small-town vibe and we look forward to growing our family in such a loving community. A few of my favorite things include chasing around my littles, sitting around a fire with friends, reading a book that is just way too good to put down, and spending too much time with my BBQ smoker. My wife does not mind that last part too much!
I look forward to meeting you!
“A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits.”
