Individual Counseling

For Teens

With an extensive background working with teens for 15+ years JC believes that counseling can be an opportunity for insight, self-development, and growth. For many teenagers the counseling experience is often a time to better understand who they are and how they can find support in their life. As a nationally recognized school culture expert that has personally worked with over 1,000 schools, he has a deep understanding of the pressures that teens face at school, at home, and in life.

For Guys

For many men counseling can be an experience that often brings resistence, which is why JC works to simply brainstorm and problem solve with his clients. As an entrepreneur, father, and former executive, he has a deep understanding of the pressures that come from time spent at work, in relationships, or at home. You don’t have to deal with life’s pressures alone. JC can offer a safe, supportive place where you can work through any challenges or obstacles that you face.

For Women

Feelings of anxiety, depression, and anger are normal for many women, yet they run so counter to the ideas of perfection that surround us every day on social media and in life. This is why JC works so hard to understand how you can live a life that is successful and happy. Not afraid to walk alongside his clients, JC works to brainstorm on solutions and find tangible areas of improvement that can help his clients find their voice and discover their true purpose.

Couples Counseling

Marriage Counseling

It is no secret that the foundation for a strong marriage is built on the bonds between husband and wife, yet so often these bonds seem stressed and disconnected.

As an experienced marriage and family therapist, JC offers a collaborative environment to help couples bolster their relationship and build for their future.

Pre-Marriage Counseling

Your wedding day is expected to be one of the happiest days of your life, yet for so many it is often one of the most stressful. Don’t carry resentment and negativity into your new marriage, schedule a pre-marriage counseling session with JC to better understand your goals, your communication patterns, and your hopes for each other. As a registered provider for the Twogether in Texas program, JC offers in-depth counseling services and a discount off your State of Texas marriage license.

Co-Parenting & Family Therapy

Co-parenting is one of the most challenging aspects of the divorce recovery process. You want the best for your kids, and guess what, so does your co-parent! Often this exprience is full of conflict, which is why JC works with his clients to enhance communication in a post-divorce world. His goal is to increase the support and happiness surrounding your children. Divorce is hard, and study after study shows the negative effects it can have on children, so let’s find a way to co-parent together.

MY STORY

Married to my best friend in my 20’s, led me to the heartache of my 1st divorce. Married again to a great love in my 30’s, led me to even more shame in divorce. Which is why I had pretty much given up on my dreams of having a family. My move to Austin was one of personal healing and unverified hope, but it opened up a door that I so desperately wanted to find. Thanks to the magic of eHarmony I was able to find my wife, Callie, and we now live an enthusiastic and love filled life with our two boys, Austin and Avery.

Resistent to counseling from the start, I had to push through various setbacks, and along the way it was my exprience with my counselors that helped me find my navigational beacons in the storm. This is the main reason, I attended Texas State University to obtain my masters in professional counseling.

After years as a counselor and even more on the road working with students and parents, I know that I don’t have all of the answers, but I can guarantee you that I am willing to help you find as many of them as possible.

Just like so many counselors did for me. If you are struggling or in pain or just needing more direction in life, contact me and let’s see if we can figure this thing out together.
