I am currently accepting new adult clients at this time, both in person and telehealth as long as you live in West Virginia. I like to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable opening up about the most difficult topics in your life or on your mind; meet you where you are in your healing journey in order to gain an understanding of your stressors, what has been poking those emotional bruises, and help identify the goals you wish to achieve. I'm passionate about helping you identify your current triggers, stressors and conflicts in order to help you develop healthier coping strategies to improve those areas of your life.

I feel privileged to have worked as a helping professional for over 25 years. I became a social worker after serving on active duty in the United States Army. I began my career serving children, adolescents, their parents and families, in their home, school and community settings. I’ve been a foster adoptive parent to troubled and troubling children and am proudly the father of our 13, year old multiple diagnosis special needs daughter. I’ve dedicated myself to helping people learn to heal from trauma and mental health symptoms in general by helping them to develop their personal best path forward.

Allow me to help you navigate life’s adversities. I would like to help you discover your strengths, and move toward self-acceptance. Your confidentiality will be maintained in a safe, and welcoming environment. We can cope with better understanding, and a renewed perspective. The difference is how we interpret and deal with life’s events. We must consider ourselves in the context of our environment and experiences; but also remember that our problems and experiences do not define who we are. Willingness, motivation, and a positive therapeutic alliance are critical in making positive changes.

I work to create a whole-brain and body approach to healing for each individual client through the use of EMDR. I promote seeking balance in life and advocate to help people feel emotionally and mentally empowered. I also take a trauma-informed approach in helping others better understand themselves, their behavior and how this has impacted their life. It is important to me to meet people where they are in seeking change and healing, because I believe this allows people to experience the power of freedom and choice in improving the overall quality of their life.

The core of my counseling approach is to provide an environment that is comfortable, judgment free, and prioritizes your mental health. I don’t believe in trying to “fix”, rather support client’s journey alongside them. My office is a place where we can grow together & explore the ups and downs life has to offer. There is no “one size fits all” in counseling so getting to know you; your interest, your learning style, your strengths, helps me pull from therapeutic theories and techniques to best fit you!
