More About Me
I assist clients through a variety of life transitions in order to feel more empowered and hopeful about the future. I work with adolescents over 14 and adults and specialize in the areas of grief and loss, career exploration, mood disorders, attentional issues, relationship concerns, and various issues impacting boys and men.
I aspire to provide a caring and therapeutic environment that empowers you to explore yourself and life circumstances in new ways. I strive to help develop new insights and seek creative solutions to help get “unstuck” wherever you are in your life. In the counseling experience, I draw from a diversity of theoretical perspectives to cater the counseling experience to your needs and context (e.g., client-centered, existential, narrative, and cognitive-behavioral). Currently, I also serve as Associate Professor at the University of North Georgia in their Department of Counseling.
On A Personal Note:
If you ask my family, they'll tell you there's almost always a podcast playing somewhere in the background. I love hearing people tell their stories, wrestle with big questions, and share ideas that make me think differently. I bring this same curiosity and focused listening to the therapy space.
