My Work
A great deal of the work I do involves how we’ve learned to relate to others. What we see as our role, affects everything from job performance to marriages. I work with individuals and couples to help them come to a better understanding of how internalized concepts shape their emotions and relationships. With more knowledge and acceptance of who we are it is easier to deal with problems that, in the past, have served as barriers to making solid connections with other people.
Education and Experience
I have a masters degree in education from Texas State University—formerly (and will always be to me) Southwest Texas—and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. After graduating I interned for a year at Capital Area Mental Health Center. I’ve been doing psychotherapy for over a decade in some form—in my own office, contracting for an employee assistance program, or affiliated the Austin Men’s Center.
Originally, I was not in the mental health field, but was an accountant and, later, involved in a family retail business. This is often referred to as “real” life experience. It did provide practical insight and working with my family left great, irreplaceable memories. But, I’ve discovered that our work or physical life is no more “real” than our emotional life. In fact, how well we perform in the first is often dependent on how skillfully we handle the second.
Current/Appointments
At present, I have an office in both Austin and Georgetown. My clients are mostly adults—individuals, couples, and groups.
