( Central time zone. )Occasionally, I offer weekend appointments, however, on weekends I’m generally engaging in self-care, most likely out on a bicycle trail somewhere.

I am a Christian, and a professional counselor licensed in Texas with over 17 years of experience working as both a counselor and life/ academic coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, young adult issues, career challenges, OCD, trauma and spiritual issues.
