Warmth and connection.
I’m Larry, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA). I hold a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University and an M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell, with ICEEFT Externship training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Therapy with me is warm, gracious, and gentle. Rather than checklists or homework, we focus on transformative experiences together in session—rooted in neurobiology, connection, and emotional regulation. There is room to slow down, make sense of what hurts, and find new ways of relating.
For clients who desire it, I offer an integrated Christian perspective. Your beliefs and story are welcome here; I fully respect and welcome clients from all backgrounds.
