Zach earned his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from Texas Woman’s University in 2014. During his time at TWU, he volunteered as a clinical intern therapist with the Children’s Advocacy Center for Denton County.

Out of all the decisions we make, one solitary choice may seem insignificant. But our choices are like an investment and interest compounds each time we make them. For Zach, one of those choices was deciding to pursue a career as a Licensed Professional Counselor. That is where his passion and purpose intersect, and where his skills and interests come to life. His practice is geared towards helping men, women, and teens learn to process their emotions, explore new ideas in a safe environment, and gain the tools necessary to thrive in their day-to-day lives. Bridging the gap between expectations and results requires work, but it is worth the effort to achieve balance, joy and peace of mind.

Those are the same qualities Zach strives for in his personal life. He is a proud father to four wonderful young men. They all love the outdoors, and spend as much time as they can in the garden, camping, and riding bikes. He finds a great deal of enjoyment building things for their house, as well as training in the martial art of Muay Thai. Outside of that, he gravitates towards older things – like vinyl records – and enjoys reading mystery/suspense novels, along with finding ways to practice sustainable living.

Craig is a Licensed Professional Counselor who graduated from Midland University with a BA in Art and recently attended Amberton University, graduating with an MA in Professional Counseling. During his graduate practicum, he worked with Hope Fellowship providing pre-marital, individual and group marital counseling. Craig also worked with inmates at the Rockwall County jail providing counseling and support for individuals who suffered from drug addiction, PTSD, and childhood issues.

Ten years ago Craig went through challenges in his own marriage. During these challenges, he and his wife sought help from a counselor. That counselor gave them the tools they needed to change their marriage and opened Craig's eyes to his passion. He realized how vital a healthy mental outlook is to all aspects of life. Whether your struggles are from your past, your present or about your future Craig would love to partner with you on your journey.
