As a queer, ethical non-monogamous man, I help LGBTQ+ adults navigate life’s challenges, heal from past wounds, and build the confidence to live more authentically.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 6 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, ethically non-monogamous individuals, and anyone seeking a warm, affirming space to gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and build a deeper sense of self. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in helping you feel seen, understood, and supported.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Angelo State University, where I developed a strong foundation in solution-focused, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I integrate evidence-based practices with curiosity, connection, and affirmation to help identify patterns that no longer serve you and support your growth.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that your experiences are valued here. Together, we can uncover your strengths, navigate challenges, and create space for healing, resilience, and authentic living. I’m here to empower you to move forward with confidence and clarity, and I would be honored to support you on your journey.

A controlled separation is a structured agreement made with the help of a trained facilitator. It outlines the terms of the separation, providing a framework for both partners to follow. Some terms might include:
A controlled separation is not a legally binding document but an agreement made with your partner in the presence of a mediator or coach. The concept allows each party to engage in “active waiting,” where they individually work through their issues and examine what they need from the relationship.
This approach can be especially helpful when it is difficult to address these issues while living in a stressful environment together.
If your marriage is in crisis and you are unsure whether to stay or go, consider the third option: a controlled separation. Investing time in this process can help you and your partner discover the best decision for your relationship.
