It’s a New Year, is it time for a new you? I’m here to help you make those changes. Students, Parents, or end of career changes. Your life is a unique journey; sometimes we need help at times. My goal as your therapist is to join you on your journey, offer you the help you need; now, get you back to being you, and disconnect when you are back on your feet. We all have anxiety and depression. If you are looking for someone to go deeper in life’s issues with you I am ready to take on that challenge beside you!

Transition is my specialty. I have helped people from early career to end of career decisions, and all of the life struggles in between. There are not many concerns I have not helped someone address. Parents of adult children. Toxic work environments.
If you currently need someone to jump in and assist you with these changes for a brief period, I am the therapist you need. The skills I teach are lifelong, you can take them with you.

He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Liberty University after studying Psychology, Philosophy, and Music at the University of Missouri. Although he has been in helping roles throughout his life, he has been in a counseling role, specifically, for the last 3 years.
