I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have been counseling adults for 10 years. I am focused on helping people work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I am also a Certified EMDR therapist, and I have been able to help clients with trauma, triggers, and anxiety utilizing this form of processing.
Choosing a counselor isn’t easy. You want to choose one that’s the best fit for you, and this can be difficult when there is little or no personal information provided. I am a counselor who has a strong desire to see people succeed. Being able to contribute to the well-being of others by helping them through a difficult time is very rewarding to me. I am open minded and extremely patient in helping my clients work through the various struggles and challenges they face. I have faced many of these same challenges personally, and I have been successful in creating solutions. I strive to make each day the very best it can be, and I will always do my best in helping others achieve happiness and peace of mind.
I have lived in Frisco since 2003 with my wonderful wife, and our rescue cat, Jack. I enjoy jogging, reading books, and watching sports. Prior to becoming a counselor in 2012, I was a manager for Starbucks in Plano. While I enjoyed working for Starbucks, I have always had the desire to help people change and grow in their personal lives. Upon obtaining my master’s degree at Amberton University, I was employed at Life Management Resources in McKinney, Texas for 4 years, where I counseled people who struggled with substance use disorders.
