About this pro
I specialize in helping Christian individuals and couples heal sexual struggles, whether it be lack of fulfillment, past abuse or sexual addiction. Using a Christ-centered and Biblically based approach, sex therapy maintains ethical boundaries through each professional session and the process can include dialogue, education, coaching, and referrals.
Christ in His encounters with individuals was always accepting of the person, yet "cared enough to confront" what one needed to change regarding choices, behaviors, attitude, and most importantly, the heart. Healing is facilitated by tailoring services according to the presenting needs and walking with clients as they deal with these painful areas in their life.
I work with clients of all ages: children (ages 13+), adolescents, and adults. I welcome clients who have a differing faith or no faith perspective. I am licensed by the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor(#68306).

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a critical part of the healing process. It's a privilege to be invited into the sacred space of woundedness that one experiences in life. Therapy provides an opportunity to wrestle with those painful and often messy areas creating an opportunity for healing to occur.
