My Approach to Helping

I remember the feelings of loneliness, isolation, and gut-wrenching shame that I experienced as I looked into my partner's eyes once again—seeing the hurt and anger that always followed her discovery of my lies and deceit.
This is the familiar story of countless men that I've had the privilege of guiding from the shadows of sexual addiction and the resultant turmoil in their relationships. As a man in recovery, I understand the courage it takes to seek change.
Sexual addiction and the accompanying compulsive sexual behaviors, including pornography, can feel like an impossible challenge. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate these complex issues. Utilizing evidence-based addiction and trauma treatment models such as the 30 Task Model, EMDR, DNMS, CPT, PE, and CBT, I offer more than just a way out; I provide a journey toward understanding, healing, and transformation. My approach addresses the behaviors and underlying emotional traumas and patterns that fuel these actions, offering a holistic path to recovery.
If you find yourself struggling with secretive sexual behaviors, feeling trapped by shame, or uncertain about the way forward, know that you don't have to navigate this alone. Healing begins the moment you decide to reach out. At Healthy Mindsets Therapy, your treatment needs become our priority, starting with a complimentary initial consultation. Together, we can explore healthy alternatives to self-destructive patterns, connect the dots from past to present behaviors, and develop the skills to heal the wounds inflicted on your relationships. By replacing defensiveness with empathy and shame with compassion, we pave the way toward a future of fulfillment, serenity, and connectedness.
Remember, the path toward healing and rediscovery is a journey we embark on together. You are not defined by your past actions but by the steps you take toward change. Reach out today by phone or email, and let's take that first step towards freedom and healing together. It's time to awaken your dreams, restore your relationships, and embrace a life of purpose and connection. I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.

More Info About My Practice

My private practice, Healthy Mindsets Therapy, is an online-based telehealth therapy focusing on individual counseling. I provide video-based therapy sessions across the state of Texas. Therapy sessions are performed in the same manner as in-office counseling--but through live video.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I strongly believe that my experiences in life greatly improve and influence my approach to therapy. My past allows me to empathize with individuals on an experiential level. As an individual in recovery, I'm able to identify with the struggles and pain of change. This allows me to be able to foresee the process of growth from dark to light--with a unique perspective that combines my past experiences with the lens of clinical mental health education, training, and experience.
