Welcome to my page! My name is Wesley. I am a new therapist to the West Texas area but not new to West Texas. I grew up on the high plains of New Mexico where, with open fields and open skies, I found myself an avid runner, stargazer, and dreamer. One of those dreams has turned into my lifelong hobby of flying planes. As a child, I was homeschooled, and after graduating high school, moved to Lubbock in 2016 to pursue higher education. Four years later, I graduated to a world that was shutting down… (plot twist) as an engineer.  I struggled to find work for a time and when I did, it was void of meaning. As I sat in a cubicle 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, I felt trapped and alone, wasting my life. 

Around this time, my now wife, Trista, opened my eyes to the field of Couples, Marriage, and Family Therapy (CMFT). I began considering a career shift and pictured a future where I could run my own business, serve others, and be around for my future family. It would be a monumental, terrifying shift in my life, but held the potential to be so much more than just another job. With much consideration, I made the decision to leave engineering and by God’s design a clear path was set forth for me as I was accepted to an outstanding CMFT program at Texas Tech University. The rigorous Master’s program afforded me many opportunities to gain valuable experience as I adjusted and grew into the profession. Working as a therapist has brought about a sense of life-purpose that allows me to use my passion for people to serve others.  

Having had the opportunity to work with a variety of populations, presenting problems, and unique settings, I have found my favorite work to be with couples and parents. In my experience, the couple’s relationship holds the most influence in supporting or hindering change and growth and is typically the cornerstone of family dynamics. Similarly, the parental relationship frequently has the most impact on a child’s development and parental interactions can impact the way future generations operate, relate, and connect with others. Working with these dynamics has shown me the importance of these relationships, and my vision is to help heal our society by supporting couples and parents in fostering healthy relationships with their partners, parents, and children. The ability to be a part of your growth journey is a privilege that I do not take lightly, and I will strive to support you in reaching your goals, whatever they may be.
