Hello and welcome! I am an EMDR Certified Therapist. I believe in EMDR and the help it gives people to heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. It could change your life! EMDR is a psychotherapy approach that is used to treat trauma-related disorders and emotional distress. EMDR has gained recognition as an effective treatment for various mental health issues, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic memories. I put my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 18 and life has never been the same. That does not mean it has been without trouble. I would like to think it impacts everything I do though. It makes me a better husband to my beautiful wife and a better dad to my kiddos. It truly is a privilege to sit across from a person or couple that says, “Life is a little bit broken right now, and I need some help.” I have significant experience working with Anxiety, Trauma, and Adolescents over the past 14+ years, and if you, your spouse, or your child need help clarifying any portion of my information, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to sitting across from you.

I spent my first fourteen years of clinical social work working with children and families in a residential care setting. I have experience in treating trauma and attachment wounds.

I am trained in EMDR therapy and use EMDR as a tool to aid in decreasing stressful feelings and experiences. I have specialized training and experience to facilitate EMDR with children and teens and am equipped to help children process trauma in a way they can understand, even when they don’t have the cognitive ability to explain their experience. I enjoy working with all ages and have experience with family counseling. I have years of training in Dr. Perry's NMT as well as TBRI. In addition, I have experience working with adults, first responders, and couples.

As a therapist licensed in TX, TN and VA, I bring over 15 years of experience working in mental health across crisis intervention and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings. Throughout my career, I have provided therapy to individuals navigating acute distress, complex diagnoses, and life-altering transitions. My work has placed me on the front lines of the mental health system, where I’ve seen firsthand both its potential to help and the ways it can overwhelm and fail the people it’s meant to serve. I am a strong advocate for my clients. I believe therapy should be collaborative, transparent, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused, unheard, or worn down by the psychiatric system. I help them make sense of that chaos — whether that means understanding diagnoses, navigating treatment options, or reclaiming a sense of agency in their care. Many individuals living with grief find comfort in working with a therapist who brings both professional training and personal understanding to the therapeutic space. I experienced the sudden loss of my brother as a young adult and later supported a close friend throughout a multi-year cancer journey. These experiences shaped my deep respect for the complexity of grief, resilience, and the emotional impact of life-altering transitions. While each person’s path is unique, I strive to offer a grounded, compassionate presence where clients feel supported, understood, and never alone in their healing process.
