(he/him)
New to Grow
I'm Brandon, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I work with people who look like they have it together on the outside but feel lost, empty, and exhausted on the inside. The dependable one. The one everyone leans on. You've read the books, you've tried harder, and you're still stuck in the same loops — because information is not transformation. I believe you're not broken. You're a masterpiece that got covered up, and my job is to help you uncover what's already there.
Our first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. I want to hear your story — what's working, what's not, and what you actually want your life to feel like. You don't have to have it figured out or say it perfectly. I'll ask questions, reflect back what I'm hearing, and by the end we'll have a clear picture of where we're headed together. You set the pace. My job is to make sure you leave feeling seen, not analyzed.
I don't do willpower. Most approaches teach you to overpower the parts of yourself you don't like — and that just creates an inner war you fight every single day. I do something different. Every behavior you hate has a part of you behind it with a positive intention, usually protection. Instead of fighting that part, we listen to it, understand it, and turn it into an ally. I'm trained in techniques that work with the nervous system, not just the thinking mind — because you can't read your way out of something your body is still holding.
Other specialties
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We behave out of our beliefs which perpetuates the same patterns. To create last change; change the beliefs change your life. CBT proponents reveal and modify these beliefs.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
People are not broken, they are just living in outdated strategies created through their experiences. I like to reveal the positive intentions of parts they do not like about themselves and transform those parts into being allies.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
I utilize these techniques to interrupt the old patterns that are not helping and create new ones.
