He earned a master’s degree in counseling and psychology from Troy University in 2016 and has been working as a Mental Health/Addictions Counselor since 2012.

He also addresses more specific focus areas such as abandonment, attachment and codependency issues, commitment and control struggles, family of origin dynamics, drug and alcohol addiction, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and fatherhood issues.

Clinically he describes an eclectic, client-centered foundation that leans on solution-focused and cognitive behavioral strategies while drawing from additional approaches as needed.

A spiritual person by orientation, he often supports clients who wish to explore or deepen their spiritual connections alongside therapeutic work.
