About
You may look capable and successful on the outside while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, sexually stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. My practice centers on adult men—gay, bisexual, queer, straight, and questioning—who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, sexual dysfunction, performance anxiety, pornography concerns, sexual shame, identity, career pressure, and major life transitions.
My approach is direct, compassionate, practical, and free of judgment. I integrate existential therapy, CBT, mindfulness, somatic techniques, and Gottman-informed relationship work. We will explore the deeper patterns influencing your life while also developing strategies you can use outside the therapy room. I will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and challenge you when doing so can help you move forward.
Therapy should be more than simply talking about the same problems each week. Together, we will clarify what is happening, identify what you want to change, and work toward greater confidence, connection, and authenticity. I offer in-person counseling in Dallas and secure telehealth services for clients located in Texas and Florida.
