Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My education background consists of bachelor degrees in Psychology and Interpersonal Communications with an emphasis in Conflict Resolution, and I have a Master’s degree in Counseling. I am a husband and a father. Being a counselor allows me to help others in the ways that my faith helps me; a source of guidance, insight, and striving to be our best self.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My counseling style is predominantly motivational interviewing to encourage change and personal growth. I’ve also received training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which allows me to help those with unresolved trauma and emotions lay down the burdensome symptoms of those negative experiences. I facilitate sessions with adults and couples faced withvarious challenges including addiction, stress, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief.

What you can expect from our first session

As a counselor, I want to walk the journey of self-discovery, recovery, and change, with you. My approach will focus on gaining a greater understanding of your individual goals. Together, we will focus on solutions and utilize a collaborative approach to develop actionable steps that will best meet your needs.
