Mental Health Counseling for Veterans and First Responders I served in the Army Reserves from 2000 to 2006 and was Deployed to Iraq in 2004-05 for OIF-3.

After working as an electrician for several years I decided to get my education. I have a Master's Degree in Psychology and Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy, both from Houston Baptist University (Now Houston Christian University). I am Licensed in both the State of Texas (LPC-A) and the Commonwealth of Virginia (RIC) as a mental health counselor/therapist. I specialize in Veteran mental health working to help those suffering from PTSD, Mental health injury/trauma, Adjusting to civilian life, and a multitude of other mental health issues both common to the general populace and unique to the veteran community.

🎄 Beating the Holiday Blues 🎄

The holidays aren’t joyful for everyone. For many veterans and families, this season brings stress, loneliness, memories, and emotional weight that’s hard to carry alone.

That’s why taking time for yourself matters. Counseling isn’t weakness—it’s a reset. It’s a place to breathe, talk honestly, and regain peace in the middle of a busy, emotional season.

You don’t have to push through or pretend you’re okay. Help is here, and hope is real. Let’s get you through the holidays and set you up for a healthier new year.

You don’t have to let PTSD rob you of joy, connection, or the true spirit of Christmas. Healing doesn’t mean pretending everything is perfect — it means giving yourself permission to breathe again, smile again, and feel again.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we help veterans and first responders find peace during seasons that often feel heavy. You can enjoy the holidays. You can feel present with your family. And you can experience hope again.

This year, let yourself celebrate.

What is a smile worth?
What is joy worth?
What is peace worth?

You tell me… but here’s what I can promise you:
Those things become possible again when you make time for healing.

Counseling isn’t about weakness.
It’s about rebuilding your life, one step at a time —
so you can feel joy again,
so you can smile without forcing it,
so you can breathe with peace instead of pressure.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we walk with veterans and first responders through the real work of recovery. And you deserve that freedom.

If you’re having a hard time getting through the holiday season — the family stress, the emotions, the memories, the loneliness — you are not alone.

For many veterans and first responders, this time of year brings up some of the deepest battles. But you don’t have to face them by yourself.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we can set up small remote counseling phone calls to help you:
✅ manage holiday stress
✅ navigate family gatherings
✅ stabilize emotions
✅ feel supported
✅ get on a path toward victory in the new year

This season doesn’t have to break you. Reach out — even one conversation can make all the difference.

Wrestling with your faith this holiday season?
Questioning where God is or why things happened the way they did?

You’re not alone — many veterans struggle with their faith after what they’ve seen and endured.

Let’s wrestle together.
I’d love to have a real conversation with any veteran this Christmas who is struggling with doubt, pain, or spiritual confusion.

You don’t have to navigate faith and trauma by yourself.

🇺🇸 To Our Active Service Members Spending Thanksgiving Alone… 🇺🇸

We see you.
We honor you.
And we are incredibly grateful for the sacrifice you’re making today.

While families gather around tables and homes fill with warmth, many of you are standing watch, deployed far from home, or serving in silence so others can celebrate in peace.

Your dedication does not go unnoticed.
Your service is valued.
And your courage is deeply appreciated.

From all of us at Take a Knee Counseling —
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for everything you do for this nation.

If you ever need someone to talk to — even for a moment — we are here for you.
