About Paul

I’VE TRIED TO DO THIS BY MYSELF.

Right now, you feel anxious, angry and depressed; maybe all three. Furthermore, you feel lonely and helpless in your relationships at home, at work or in other social situations. Perhaps you feel isolated from your faith community or God.

You have tried to handle things on your own up to this point. You’ve tried talking to family and friends. Maybe they are great listeners, but you have your doubts. You fear that what you tell them could be used against you later. Or, they listen and tell you what you want to hear, but not what you need to hear. Even though possibly well-meaning, they could also judge or criticize you for your choices once you start confiding in them.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. HELP IS HERE.

I want you to know that I am here to listen and to help. I am greatly aware of situations that might cause you shame, embarrassment, or guilt. I want to understand, and I can only do so if I know your story. This is done in an environment that it is safe and totally confidential.

I will offer observations and feedback. I offer not only my education, training and experience, but what I gained from my own personal journey.

I sought after professional help when I felt that I had tried everything else to relieve my pain and to no avail. I tried healthy things and they weren’t enough. I tried unhealthy things when I was just trying to find relief, not solutions, and that just made things worse for me.

Perhaps you’ve never reached out for help. The thought of it scares you. More than once, you’ve picked up the phone to call, only to hang up convincing yourself that you can solve your problems by yourself. But now, you’ve discovered that avoiding others isn’t the answer and you’re tired of the struggle.

TAKING THAT FIRST STEP IS THE HARDEST, AT LEAST IT WAS FOR ME.

I finally made the decision to reach out. It was scary. Making the call took all the courage I had, but once I was face-to-face with my counselor, I was pleasantly surprised. It was like an oasis of comfort. Through time, I learned to trust the counselor more. I rested in the fact that he cared for me and was skilled enough to make it easy for me to talk to. I felt accepted. I felt cared for. He wanted to hear my story. His encouragement and seasoned feedback from his years of experience proved to be invaluable to me.

I’m much further down the road than I was and much better for it because I had someone who helped me. This is my wish for you. I would consider it an honor to get to know you and to walk alongside you.

For those who desire it, I integrate Biblical principles with sound therapeutic techniques to incorporate faith and Christian practices into the healing process.  My knowledge of spiritual principles has allowed me to integrate both disciplines into a comprehensive approach that addresses the mind and soul without compromise of those principles that you hold so dear.

I HAVE OVER TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

I’ve been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1999; Texas License #16001. I received my master’s degree in Counseling from Liberty University. I’ve worked in several different venues. I’ve worked as a licensed counselor in a psychiatric hospital, in a church setting, and in private practice.

From 2005 to April of 2019, I had the honor and privilege of working with military members and their families counseling them with issues while they were in the deployment cycle. I learned how to help the anxious, the depressed, the angry and the lonely, counseling those who served our country. I worked with their families while their spouse was deployed. I worked with both after their loved one came back from the battleground. This laboratory served me well. Through that experience, I’m much better equipped for counseling those with issues that challenge all of us.

Showing concern and understanding with evidence-based methods, I believe I can help you, too. Let’s start now.
