Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Hiram, GA

I work with clients ages 13 and up, couples, and families navigating grief, loss, PTSD, men’s issues, trauma, substance use, relationship stress, and seasons where life feels heavier than usual. Some clients come in after a specific loss or painful experience. Others are trying to make sense of anxiety, depression, identity questions, family patterns, or the pressure to keep functioning when things do not feel okay inside.

My background spans addiction recovery, group facilitation, crisis work, and private practice, so I am comfortable sitting with both everyday stress and the harder things people often feel they have to hide. My style is direct, engaged, and real. I use humor when it fits, show up as a full person, and genuinely care about helping you sort through what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck.

I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing tools to create meaningful change.

I guess you want to know about me, and maybe you’re skeptical about therapy. I don’t blame you there’s a lot of BS out there. I am married with 2 new kids and I love shooting guns, martial arts, playing with my dogs, hiking, sailing, and having adventures with my friends and family. I have lived all over the world and enjoyed many cultures. While pursuing my own healing I found many false teachers and systems which were okay but incomplete. In general there’s a lot of feel good positive thinking pop psychology that aims to affirm whatever you believe and give you a gentle “safe space.” If that’s what you’re looking for then this isn’t for you. I will get in there with you and go deep, but I won’t waste my time or yours it’s too valuable. I love this work I do and I believe it’s what God put me here to do. I could tell you all my credentials school degree ect, but what really matters is that what makes me a good therapist is that I have struggled so much myself and after much avoidance and fighting I finally had the courage to face the deeper truth. What I offer you is a what I know works.
