Therapy for Dads in Plano, TX

Is This You?

Maybe you're a new dad running on no sleep, wondering why no one warned you about the isolation. Maybe you're navigating co-parenting after a divorce and feeling like you're failing your kids. Maybe you're showing up to work, showing up to games, showing up to family dinners, but feeling like a ghost in your own life.

Maybe the anger comes easier than the sadness. Maybe you've told yourself, "I'm fine," more times than you can count. Maybe you're exhausted, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and you're not sure how much longer you can keep this up.

Being a dad brings out the best in us and the hardest parts of us. This is a place to work through both.

What This Often Looks Like

• Struggles in your marriage: feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in conflict, or unsure how to find your way back to each other
• Difficulty connecting with your kids: even when you're physically present, you feel emotionally distant
• Navigating divorce or co-parenting: trying to protect your kids while managing your own pain
• Anger that flares up: outbursts that leave you feeling ashamed and confused
• Overwhelm, depression, or anxiety: carrying a weight you can't quite name
• A sense of isolation: feeling like a foreigner in your own home, unsure where you fit anymore
• Generational patterns: swearing you'll be different from your own dad, but not knowing how

How We Work Together

I bring myself honestly into the room with you, no performance, no clinical distance. My approach is relational psychodynamic and person-centered, which means we're not just going to talk about parenting tips. We're going to look at what's showing up in your life as a dad, and where those patterns came from.

Here's the thing: becoming a dad brings up everything. Your own childhood. Your fears. Your hopes. Your unresolved stuff. If you grew up with an abusive or distant father, developing intimacy with your own child can feel distressing and uncomfortable. That makes sense. We'll work through that, not by blaming, but by understanding.

And because I'm a dad myself, I get it. I know what it's like to be exhausted with little sleep, countless diaper changes, and trying to figure out how to provide. I know what it feels like to be stretched thin between work, family activities, dates, and everything else. I'm not here to lecture you, I'm here to walk with you.

What You Can Expect

Sessions are direct, honest, and grounded in real life, not theory or judgment. Dads who trust the process and stick with therapy often find:

• More satisfaction in life: releasing pressure in a safe space so you can regulate your emotions at home
• Deeper engagement: with your spouse, your kids, and your social relationships
• The ability to emotionally hold your child's big feelings: without losing yourself in them
• Increased trust in your child's autonomy: and in your own parenting
• A healthier relationship with yourself: modeling for your kids what it looks like to be a whole person
• Breaking generational patterns: so your kids don't inherit what you've carried

Getting Started

Step 1: Free Consultation. We'll talk for 15 minutes to see if this feels like a fit. No pressure. No commitment.

Step 2: First Session. We'll talk through what brought you in—where you're stuck, what you're hoping for, what's been weighing on you.

Step 3: Ongoing Work. Steady, honest sessions at a pace that respects where you're starting from. We'll check in on what's shifting at home—and in you.

Taking the First Step

I hear you. You're stretched thin. The idea of taking an hour for yourself can feel selfish or overwhelming. But here's the truth I've seen play out over and over: spending an hour on yourself is one of the most loving things you can do for your family.

You're not alone. And you can be the father you desire to be. Growth doesn't just happen—it takes work. But this work will be the most profound and fruitful work you ever do, because it doesn't just impact you personally. It sets the tone for generations to come in your family.

You don't need to have this figured out before you show up. Let's start with a free 15-minute consultation.
