He brings six years of professional counseling experience and over 15 years as a Christian lay counselor in the Dallas area. His work centers on practical steps people can take to feel safer, more stable, and more in control of daily life.

He commonly helps with post-traumatic stress, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, panic, and bipolar-related struggles. He also addresses relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, fatherhood issues, communication problems, and challenges tied to money or career stress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic memories in ways that reduce their hold on daily life; it often involves careful review of what happened and new ways to understand those events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to improve mood and reduce anxiety and panic.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first steps in therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means approaches can be mixed or shifted over time to fit what the client needs and prefers.

Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. Some formats can be better for quick check-ins while others are better for longer, more focused trauma work, so discuss practical needs and preferences when you schedule.
