Licensed Professional Counselor Associate • Texas LPC-Associate #101605 • Supervised by Joshua Kellar, LPC-S, LMFT-S
Brian works with teens ages 15+ and adults navigating complex trauma, difficult childhood experiences, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and addiction recovery. His warm, collaborative, person-centered approach makes room for both understanding your experiences and finding practical ways to navigate difficult emotions. Together, you can explore how earlier experiences shape your relationships and responses today, at a pace that respects what you feel ready to discuss.
Who I work with
Brian works with teens ages 15+, young adults, and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, complex trauma and CPTSD, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief, addiction, childhood abuse, or simply the feeling that something in their life needs to change. Some clients come to therapy because they feel overwhelmed or stuck. Others recognize patterns in their emotions or relationships that they understand intellectually but continue to repeat. And some are trying to understand how experiences from earlier in life continue to influence who they are today. Brian works to create a safe, trusting, and nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand these patterns, develop practical ways of navigating difficult emotions, and reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been pushed aside or abandoned along the way.
Areas of specialization
Trauma and childhood experiences: Complex trauma and CPTSD; childhood abuse recovery. Emotions and mental health: Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. Relationships and change: Relationship difficulties, attachment patterns, family conflict, grief, and life transitions. Addiction and recovery: Support with addiction and recovery. Brian offers individual therapy for teens ages 15+ and adults. Therapeutic approaches are described below.
My approach
Brian’s approach is collaborative and person-centered. He draws from DBT-informed skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and contemplative psychotherapy. DBT-informed skills can be part of work on emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based exploration makes space to understand relationship patterns and how difficult childhood experiences may affect your emotions, sense of safety, and relationship with yourself today. His graduate training in Contemplative Psychotherapy and more than a decade of meditation practice inform his work. You do not need to meditate or practice mindfulness to work with Brian. Together, you’ll decide which ways of working fit your concerns and preferences.
What therapy with me looks like
Therapy with Brian is a conversation you shape together. You can talk about what feels difficult now, explore patterns you’ve noticed, and decide what you want to focus on. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. Some sessions may focus on a recurring relationship pattern or the impact of earlier experiences. Others may include practicing emotional regulation or distress-tolerance skills, talking through a difficult situation, or slowing down to notice thoughts and feelings. Brian works with you rather than telling you who to become. Mindfulness or meditation may be explored if they interest you, but neither is required. The pace and focus of therapy are collaborative, with room to discuss what feels useful and what does not.
