LPC, NCC

I am not what you probably think of when you imagine a therapist. I'm not going to jot a bunch of notes while we talk, or ask you to lay on the couch (though you absolutely can if you want to). I'm probably going to try to make you laugh at least once. We're going to get some work done in session, but it's not going to be as formal or awkward as you might expect from how shrinks are usually portrayed by Hollywood.

I prefer to work from an existential theoretical framework. Existential therapists believe  peace can be found in the midst of suffering through finding meaning in our lives. As Nietzche explained, "If we have our own why in life, we shall get along with almost any how." However, some problems require other forms of therapy and I use these as well. I am also comfortable integrating clients' religious practices and beliefs, if desired.

I earned my BS in Psychology from Georgia Gwinnett College, my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University, and am completing a PhD in Counselor Supervision and Education at Walden University. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and am licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. I have completed Gottman level 1 training and am Prepare/Enrich certified.

I have been a resident of metro-Atlanta since 1996, and live in Lawrenceville with my wife and our dog, Rylo. (Rylo usually comes to work with me; if you're not comfortable with dogs, let me know and he'll take the day off during your session.) When not working, I enjoy cooking, woodworking, video games, reading, and playing with guitars.

My standard rate is $100 per 45-minute session for individuals, and $125 for couples. However, I will work with you to find a rate that will allow you to attend sessions as regularly as you desire; just ask. I also accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare insurances.
