Today you are one step closer to a new you, feeling empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As an Assistant Professor, Researcher, and Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy and a solution-focused therapist, I aim to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

First session

I don't believe long-term therapy is always needed. Because of this, clients can expect to receive tools to use immediately.

Strengths

I am very direct in my approach. I do not sugarcoat anything. I expect my clients to be open, honest, and ready to do the work to change their behavior.

Ideal clients

I work with adults, couples, and families who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or misunderstood and want clarity, emotional balance, and healthier relationships. My approach is warm, direct, and culturally attuned, helping you understand the patterns shaping your life and the stress you carry. Together, we build insight, strengthen communication, and create meaningful, sustainable change so you can move forward with confidence, connection, and a deeper sense of self.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help clients identify those barriers to the way they think that may impact their ability to change thier behavior.

Family Therapy

I help clients identify and resolve those relational interactions that impact the way the clients behave.

Relational

I help the client identify those relational issues that impact family dynamics.

Couples Counseling

I help clients identify and resolve communication, conflict, and sexual issues that may be affecting the couple.

There's no fluff with Dr. Morgan. He clearly breaks down any situation that you may face. He breaks it down to the most simplistic variable, which allows more opportunity to discuss your actions, follow up, and approach. It's definitely helped me in a short time! He's great!

I highly recommend Dr. Morgan. He's very direct (but not harsh) and authentic. You will get real, honest feedback rather than vague reassurance. If you're looking for someone who will be straight with you while making you feel safe, definitely choose him.

Our first session afforded us the opportunity to discuss honestly about where we are and what we would like to achieve in our relationship. We are looking forward to working with him. He is intelligent, direct and authentic.
