About
Life has a way of throwing punches that knock us flat...trauma that rewires your brain, relationships that leave scars, stress that eats you alive from the inside out. I work with men, couples, and anyone 16 and up who’s tired of pretending they’ve got it all together. My mission is simple: to help you get unstuck, find your footing again, and build a life you don’t have to fake.
Counseling with me isn’t about sitting around and rehashing the past just to stay stuck in it. Think of it like building out your tool belt. You already have some tools, but when life hits hard, you need more than duct tape and hope. Together, we’ll load you up with proven, practical strategies—so the next time life comes swinging, you know how to stand your ground.
I specialize in men’s issues, couples who feel like they’re on the edge, and survivors of trauma, PTSD, and abuse. I use approaches that work—EMDR for trauma, the Gottman Method for relationships, and other tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy to get results. I’m trained in Prepare/Enrich, SYMBIS, and grief counseling, and I’m not afraid to talk about the role faith and spirituality can play in healing if that’s part of your story.
Before becoming a counselor, I spent years in ministry, coaching, and leadership. I’ve seen behind the curtain of people who look “successful” but are falling apart inside. That’s why I don’t just care about appearances—I care about helping you actually get better.
I’m a Texas native, been in Houston since 2012, and when I’m not in the office, I’m a husband to Jill and a dad to two college-aged kids. They keep me grounded and remind me why the fight for hope is worth it.
If you’re ready to stop numbing out, stop pretending, and start actually healing, I’d be honored to walk that road with you.

Services offered
Family
In person, $195 average fee
Families are complicated. Even the most loving homes can get stuck in patterns of miscommunication, frustration, and distance. Maybe everyone’s walking on eggshells. Maybe you feel more like roommates than relatives. Or maybe a recent crisis - divorce, loss, trauma, or transition - has shaken the family’s foundation. At Renewing Hope Counseling, we help families reconnect, communicate better, and heal the fractures that life inevitably creates. Family therapy isn’t about finding someone to blame - it’s about finding a new way forward, together. PLEASE NOTE: Renewing Hope DOES NOT accept insurance for family counseling.

Group
In person, $70 average fee
You weren’t meant to work through everything alone. Sometimes healing happens differently when you’re surrounded by people who understand what you’re going through. Maybe you’ve been carrying grief, struggling in relationships, working through anxiety or depression, navigating addiction or recovery, or simply feeling isolated in a difficult season of life. Individual counseling can be incredibly valuable, but there is something uniquely powerful about realizing you’re not the only one facing the struggle. PLEASE NOTE: Renewing Hope DOES NOT accept insurance for group counseling.

Couples
In person and online, $195 average fee
Even the strongest relationships hit rough seasons. Maybe you’re arguing more than you connect. Maybe you feel distant - like roommates instead of partners. Or maybe you’re simply tired of having the same fight over and over again without ever getting anywhere. At Renewing Hope Counseling, we help couples move from disconnection and frustration to understanding and closeness. Whether you’ve been together for six months or twenty years, it’s never too early, or too late, to learn how to communicate better, rebuild trust, and strengthen your emotional bond. Real Help. Real Hope. Real Change. PLEASE NOTE: Renewing Hope DOES NOT accept insurance for couples counseling.

Individual
In person, $195 average fee
Because you can’t heal what you never have time to face. Life has a way of piling things on. Stress. Anxiety. Relationships. Grief. Work. Expectations. The pressure to keep moving forward, even when you're running on empty. At some point, coping turns into surviving. You're getting through the days, but you're not really enjoying them. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying it all by yourself. At Renewing Hope Counseling, therapy isn't about telling you what's wrong with you. It's about helping you understand what's happening beneath the surface and giving you practical tools to move forward. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or just feeling lost in this season of life, we're here to help. You don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through life. Healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.
