Life is about more than just surviving; it’s about growing through challenges to emerge stronger and more resilient.
Thank you for visiting my website. My clinical internship concluded on November 28, 2025, and I'm currently in the process of obtaining my LPC-Associate license. While I'm unable to provide services during this transition period, I'm happy to respond to consultation requests and messages once I'm licensed. I appreciate your patience and look forward to serving you soon.
Why My Approach is Different.
Most therapy focuses on understanding your past and processing pain—and that's important. But I believe real transformation happens when we move beyond just healing to actively building the life you want.
Here's how we do that together:
Building Practical Strength Instead of just talking about your challenges, we develop concrete skills you can use immediately. Whether it's learning to set boundaries that actually stick, developing emotional regulation techniques that work in real-time, or building confidence through deliberate action—you'll leave sessions with tools, not just insights.
Embracing Growth Through Challenge I don't believe in avoiding discomfort; I believe in building your capacity to handle it. We'll work together to help you lean into difficult conversations, take meaningful risks, and pursue what matters to you—even when it feels scary.
From Surviving to Thriving My goal isn't just to help you feel better (though you will). It's to help you become someone who can navigate life's inevitable challenges with confidence, maintain strong relationships even during conflict, and pursue your goals without being derailed by setbacks.
This means you'll:
Develop resilience that lasts beyond our sessions
Learn to trust your ability to handle whatever life brings
Build relationships that can weather real challenges
Take action on what matters to you, even when it's difficult
The result? You don't just cope with life—you engage with it fully, knowing you have what it takes to handle whatever comes your way.

Graduate Intern working under the supervision of Heather Murphy, LPC-S
As a Counselor-in-Training, I aim to offer an approach that is informed by my lived experiences as well as my training to empower anyone striving for personal growth and self-discovery.
Life's pressures—from career demands and family expectations to enduring pain and self-imposed limitations—often create distractions that can lead us away from what truly matters. Embracing our true selves, in essence, becomes a form of worthwhile rebellion. In a world where struggle is inevitable, I advocate for choosing a path that is not only challenging but also enriching and fulfilling. This commitment to authenticity is not just a personal endeavor; it is a transformative process that can inspire not only our journey but those of others as well.
While I work with people facing a wide range of life challenges, I have particular expertise and passion for helping with:
Men’s Mental Health
Difficulty expressing emotions and vulnerability
Career stress and burnout
Relationship and intimacy challenges
Anger management and emotional regulation
Navigating expectations around traditional masculinity
Work-life balance and role transitions
Body Image & Eating Concerns
Chronic dieting cycles and weight struggles
Exercise addiction and compulsive fitness behaviors
Body dysmorphia and self-image issues
Eating disorders and disordered eating patterns
Relationship with food and body acceptances
Life Transitions & Personal Growth

Self-esteem and confidence building
Relationship issues and communication
Grief and loss processing
Addiction and recovery support
I will be able to share more information on my location once I am licensed. I plan to see clients in-person in the Heights area and I will offer virtual appointments as well via a secure client portal.
My services are offered on a private pay basis.
Session fee: $185
Heights Area
Located in a historic home on a tree-lined street. Large windows and high ceilings create a feeling as if you’re sitting in someone’s living room, rather than an office.
Virtual
Not close to either office? Traveling for work or vacation? Virtual appointments are available via our secure client portal.
(Virtual appointment availability is limited. Must be a resident of Texas)
