“Treat everyone you meet as an equal – as an imperfect and beautiful human being – and watch as your own personality and potential begins to shine brighter than ever.” -Addison

Prior to joining Authentic Healing & Counseling, Addison spent nearly 15 years working in IT professional roles for small startups and large enterprises. He spent most of his life as a seeker asking “why” with endless depth, studying a broad range of subjects and worldviews from religion to culture to foundational physics. Addison was drawn to mental health with inspiration from Victor Frankl after reading “Man’s Search for Meaning”. The ability to pay it forward and help others find meaning in their lives is a calling for Addison. As such, existential psychotherapy is at the heart of Addison’s approach.

Addison is trained in telehealth and also studies Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy to be able to employ different interventions and support depending on the client’s unique needs, whether you’re at home or in the office.

You don’t have to suffer in silence. Take off your suit of armor and come have an authentic healing experience with Addison.

Have you ever had a feeling of being intuitively guided? Have you ever felt like you knew something was right or wrong for you? We all have stories that we can’t quite explain, but these are threads we can tug at, as we inherit the wisdom of our deeper selves, uncover greater truths, and navigate through our personal life journeys.

I primarily use humanistic therapy, which is a type of therapy that emphasizes the point of view of the client and allows them to take an active role in their treatment. In addition to this style of therapy, I also use CBT, and mindfulness therapies. Through these modalities I’ll use in our work together, I implore you to step into the wholeness of who you are – a more empowered version of yourself.

I bring a vast array of professional and personal experiences to his work. I was born in Germany, grew up in France, lived in Mexico, and made Houston, Texas, my home in 1995.  In France, I worked in construction, served in the military, and was a police officer. In Mexico, I sold educational materials and taught French. As a college student in Houston, Texas, I worked for a while as a tutor in a private high school for teenagers whose behavior had resulted in their being expelled from public schools. After receiving my BBA, he accumulated over 20 years of Houston, Texas-based corporate accounting, and finance experience in the context of small firms, mid-sized companies, and multi-billion-dollar multinational corporations.

I bring the depth and range of his experience to my work and continue to be a life-long student. I’ve personally experienced cross-border relocations, learned other languages, adapted to new cultures, changed careers, and gone through existential turmoil. I help my clients navigate the challenges of career decisions, geographic relocations, cultural assimilations, communication difficulties, and relationship discords. I believe that your challenges are not necessarily insurmountable and am passionate about helping people wake up to their true selves so they can live fully with more peace of mind, inner freedom, and a deeper experience of love in their hearts. Whichever situation you currently find yourself in, there is hope. I look forward to our collaboration.
