Therapy That Actually Moves the Needle

Whether you’re feeling distant in your relationship, watching your teen shut down, or struggling to keep it together yourself—I help men, couples, families, and teens in Austin reconnect and rebuild with proven tools and zero fluff.

What I Offer

  • Therapy for Men

    You're not broken, you're burnt out. I work with men who are high-functioning but feel disconnected—angry, checked out, or overwhelmed. Therapy gives you a space to offload, get clear, and take action that aligns with who you want to be as a man, partner, and father.

    Common issues I help with:

    Anger & irritability

    Feeling numb or shut down

    Relationship problems

    Life transitions or work burnout

  • Counseling for Teen Boys

    Your son might not be talking to you, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t need help. I connect with teenage boys through honest conversation, zero judgment, and tools that work. We address emotional regulation, motivation, social anxiety, and family tension.

    Common issues I help with:

    Anxiety and depression

    Defiance or withdrawal

    Academic stress

    Parent-teen communication

  • Couples Counseling

    You’re tired of the same argument, the silence, or feeling like roommates. I work with couples in high-conflict or emotionally distant relationships to rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect emotionally and physically.

    You’ll learn to:

    De-escalate arguments before they explode

    Talk about what’s really going on

    Rebuild connection and intimacy

    Heal past resentment or betrayal

  • Family Therapy

    Family therapy helps you stop walking on eggshells and start moving toward clarity and connection. Whether it's sibling conflict, co-parenting tension, or generational wounds—I'll help your family communicate and heal together.

    Family sessions can help with:

    Parent-child conflict

    Blended family tension

    Emotional distance or breakdowns in communication

    Shared grief or trauma

 FAQs

  • Individual therapy sessions are $200 and couples/family counseling sessions are $225.

    Unlike other counselors, I will have you complete all of the intake assessments and client history before our first session so we can dive into the important work immediately. I do not waste my clients’ time and money.

  • I am an out-of-network provider for insurance. Depending upon your coverage and policy, you may be reimbursed up to 50% of the cost of our sessions through your health insurance

  • The length of treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis. My goal is for my clients to start feeling better and have a clear sense of direction in 4-8 sessions, (which is considered short-term therapy in this field!), with an additional 4-8 sessions to hammer home coping skills and building new patterns. To state the obvious, clients who are ready to change and work the program get the most out of it!

  • We structure therapy sessions once a week for the first month. Depending on your progress, we will either continue meeting weekly or move to every other week.

  • I structure our sessions to last 50 minutes.

  • That’s a big HELL YES! One hour a week of therapy will not give you the life of your dreams. It will require work, but that work can and will be fun 😝

What do I incorporate into my counseling approach?

  • SFBT is exactly what it sounds like: a modality built on quick interventions with an eye always on solutions, not problems.

  • If you’re anything like me, you have no f’ing clue how to do relationships. You certainly didn’t learn it from your parents.

    Before my wife and I got married, we did a few months of couples counseling sessions. Now that I am training as a clinician and have studied couples counseling techniques, I know that what made our sessions so successful and restorative for our relationship was the use of Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

    EFT grew out of the need to bring attachment theory into clinical practice. It taught me endlessly about my emotions and emotional regulation, and how to ask for what I need in all of my relationships.

    I would not be happily married without EFT.

  • CBT is the gold standard of psychotherapy. The research on its effectiveness blows other approaches out of the water.
    It dives into how our thoughts, feelings, and moods can be a tangled ball of yarn, and gives us tips to untangle them.

  • We are not thinking beings that feel; we are feeling beings that think.

    If we are going to do better, then we have to feel better. And that starts by understanding how our nervous system is conditioned to respond to stressors in particular ways.
