About My Clients
First, I am passionate about helping others with any form of trauma, and am trained/experienced in EMDR. Clients have included individual adults, medical professionals, first- responders & their spouse/partner, teachers, business owners, active military and veterans, adolescents with school concerns and/or college/career/life needs, sex workers, individuals wanting help with relationship issues including dating, courtship, marriage, divorce, and other relational issues
My Background and Approach
Though born in a small city, much of my life has been in rural and country settings. My wife and I relocated to Texas from Clark County (Las Vegas), NV (after returning stateside from a season in Iraq); and have settled in Denton County, Texas. My therapy approach includes realizing that you my client (potential client) is the expert and the only one who knows your unshared thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach is also collaborative and we (client and counselor) work together on your therapy long-term & short-term goals based upon what brought you to counseling. I also have specialized in Trauma Therapy, including PTSD, and am trained and experienced in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), of which has been scientifically and clinically proven to be helpful in the healing process of unresolved trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have always been known to embrace values, ethics, and with an open-mind towards cultural and any form of differences. My parents included a former Catholic nun Mother and a former golden gloves boxer and Baptist/Methodist raised Father. Since those formative years life has brought me many valuable experiences from almost every faith and non-faith influence, and have helped develop my non-judgmental collaborative approach to life and private & group practice.
