Testimonials
“Paul is very knowledgeable and understanding. When my husband and I shared our issues, he listened with patience and could tell us the root of our problems. He was very straight to the point and his strategies worked fine for us. We are glad to have him as our marriage counselor.”
“Paul has been such a valuable asset and trusted confidante for both me and my wife. I originally started seeing Paul to help with some issues going on with my family and myself. Paul’s approach helped me to see and identify traits about myself that I was previously unaware, and he helped me to establish and understand proper boundaries in my life. He has also helped me be able to better communicate my feelings and to better value myself. With my wife, Paul has always been there to help us better understand the issues we face with our marriage, and that every couple faces these same issues. I cannot recommend someone more highly that Paul. He has been and continues to be a blessing to me and my wife”
“My 14 year old son was seriously stressed over a big move from Ohio to Frisco, TX. A naturally introverted, yet confident and high-achieving kid, started suffering physical ailments. Sessions with Paul helped him deal with the stress, accept the situation/move and remember his old, confident self. I’m so glad we had a referral to Paul.”
“Paul is great! He’s really helped my husband and I communicate much more productively.”
“I assumed counseling would only scratch the surface, and that the relationship between my boyfriend and I could not be salvaged. Paul not only noticed our deep-rooted issues immediately, but he helped us resolve them in a nonjudgmental way. After the first session, my boyfriend and I felt comfortable discussing everything in detail. By the end of our time with Paul, we learned to manage our conflict and we are now happily engaged! This was the best investment we’ve made for our relationship!”
“When I was in my early twenties, I reached out to Paul for guidance in many areas of my life. I was recently single from a long-term relationship and decided it was a great time to work on myself. I have attended therapy off and on for about 3 years now. The amount of knowledge and confidence I have gained was unforeseen. Not only do I feel more comfortable with who I am as a person, my relationships and job have benefited as well. I am very thankful for the support Paul has offered me since day one.”
“Paul is very easy to talk to.”
“Paul is very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend him.”
Get to Know Paul
-
What inspired you to become a licensed professional counselor?
My faith is my biggest inspiration for becoming a licensed professional counselor. I believe that people all have intrinsic value because God created people with a purpose. People are the most valuable part of God’s creation, so I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than helping others!
-
How would you describe your approach to counseling?
My approach to therapy is empathetic, non judgmental, and more candid. I like to make my counseling services concrete and tend to take more of a direct role that educates and equips clients. I try to push for progress and challenge my clients to grow rather than just be a listening ear.
-
How do you measure progress or success as a therapist?
Typically, we set goals early in therapy based on the problems that are presented by the client. I also like to help my clients identify other goals that would help them that they may not even have been aware of when they first started therapy. I am very upfront about my therapeutic objectives with my clients, so that they understand the process and feel more comfortable.
-
What’s one thing you wish more people understood about therapy?
Therapy is only as effective as the level of investment a client has in their health. The clients I have that are heavily invested in their therapy tend to heal quicker. They get better results when they are invested in the therapeutic process and come in with an open mind.
-
How do you tailor your counseling services for each individual client?
I typically allow my clients to present their perspective on the problems first. Once I’ve conceptualized their concerns I will share practical feedback that is directly relevant to their circumstances.
-
What’s one piece of advice you often find yourself sharing with clients?
I like to share that taking full personal responsibility for all aspects of oneself is the beginning of the growth process.
-
What do you enjoy most about being a therapist?
It has been extremely rewarding to watch my clients heal from pain, find their joy, unify their families, and make the world a better place.
-
What’s a book, quote, or idea that has influenced your perspective as a licensed professional counselor?
In Viktor Frank’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning, he has a famous quote that I love and has influenced me as a licensed professional counselor: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way”
-
Who would benefit most from working with you?
Couples wanting to work on their marriage, boys ages 5 – 25, parents struggling with their child’s ADHD or behavioral issues, and individual adults struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, childhood pain, autism and bipolar.
-
What do you hope clients take away from their time in therapy with you?
I hope that my clients leave my counseling services with hope, encouragement, self awareness, empowerment to change, a renewed perspective, motivation, direction, confidence, and peace.
-
How do you help clients set and achieve their goals in therapy?
Goals are based off of needs that the client presents, as well as unmet needs that I notice are directly relevant that a client may not initially be aware of.
-
What mental health concerns do you most enjoy helping clients work through?
I enjoy helping clients work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, and marriage issues.
-
What types of therapy do you offer (individual, couples, family, trauma-focused, etc.)?
I offer counseling services for children ages 4-12, teens 12-20, adults ages 20+, and couples that are dating or married.
-
How do you help clients manage stress, anxiety, or trauma in everyday life?
I help clients learn coping skills through clinically proven anxiety treatments, behavioral change, reframing their perspective and thought life.
-
What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of being a therapist?
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy strategy games, drumming, travelling, hiking, kayaking, running, camping, bike ridding, and playing pool.
