Find Direction

Life is hard.
And complicated. And often confusing.
It’s tough to find your path and easy to lose it.
I help college students, grad students, and early to mid-career professionals find their way.
Career
Either choosing a career, changing jobs, managing the stressors of early career, or navigating a work/life balance. Wherever you are in this process, creating a work life that is fulfilling, has manageable stress levels, and speaks to your values is one of the core tasks of early adulthood.
School
Some people say college are the best years of your life. And that can be true in a lot of ways. For me, they were also some of the the most confusing and difficult. I spent as much time trying to find my way through course work and study sessions as I did trying to find out about myself and my future. 22% of students seek therapy each year and over 50% of students feel overwhelmed by anxiety according to the American College Health Association. School is hard, reach out, therapy can help.
Relationships
They’re just as complicated as the rest of it, probably more so. I can help you get what you want out of your relationships while being fair to yourself and fair to your partner and the roles your careers, education, and goals may be playing in the choices you make as a family. All of this goes double for young marriages and new parents! I can also help you decided whether to stick it out through troubled times or move on from something that isn’t working.
I am a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and a Licensed Psychologist in Texas. I’m married with three young kids. Being a husband and dad has taught me more about myself, people, and the world in general than I could have possibly imagined. I like run a lot, train BJJ when I can, and love to cook and eat. I also play board games when I can find the time, like to stay busy around the house, and love my job as a therapist.
College, grad school, early marriage, and young parenthood have been some of the most challenging and rewarding periods of my life. Nearly as exciting as they’ve been terrifying. I’ve done it all…made mistakes, put it back together, made the same mistakes again, found new mistakes to make, pulled off miraculous triumphs, and spent plenty of time grinding away. Through it all, I’ve tried to stay true to myself and always remain a student to my experiences. I wouldn’t change a bit of it.
