Perhaps you are struggling in some way... finding it difficult to cope with stress or anxieties, experiencing barriers to engaging with others, fighting with your own spiraling thoughts or emotions? If you are hopeful that you have the potential to change. If you are seeking to explore other perspectives and challenge limiting patterns of thoughts or behaviors. If the prospect of growth, healing, adapting is appealing.... Welcome to Possibilities Counseling & Consultation

I am a pilgrim in progress, a man of faith, a student of people, a mental health counselor, and an avid lover of stories. I am grateful to have a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University, and both a Master's of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Professionally, I have worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds including: grief, trauma, gender and sexuality, addiction, faith and spirituality, anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.). I have served clients across a variety of ages, children to adults both in clinical settings and also in community (professional Christian ministry) settings.

I believe we were made for wholeness, connection, and purpose but live in a world in which we often experience fragmentation, isolation, and futility.

I am passionate about taking this journey with you through those experiences towards a life of freedom and courage. After 12 years of working in a variety of cross-cultural settings with people of different ages and backgrounds, I integrates my experiences with my counseling training to walk with teens, adults, and couples in this process.

Every person is unique and has a personal story to tell. My focus is the client and use a multi-modal approach to walk alongside each individual that enters the therapy setting, empowering clients to become the best version of themself. Whether individuals are managing LGBTQ+ issues, Trauma/PTSD, Grief/Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Substance Abuse, Personality Disorders, or other life challenge, allow me to meet you on your journey, and help you discover the amazing individual within.
