OUR COUNSELORS​​​​​​​

We all have expectations of how our life will go - so what do we do when life brings us pain and obstacles instead?

It wasn't until my darkest hour that I discovered how God chooses to work through interpersonal relationships to reveal His Grace, Love, and Hope in Christ. Having been a counseling client myself, I found the greatest comfort and progress comes from counseling experiences that are authentically demonstrating those characteristics. Whatever you are facing, I want to hear your story and work with you to find healing, renewed purpose, and establish tools to aid in building resilience for the inevitable difficulties you will encounter down the road of your life.

My areas of interest include (but are not limited to) Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression, Sexual/Pornography Addictions, Anger, and Spiritual Growth. 

I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC where I now live with my beautiful wife, son, and our fluffy Great Pyrenees. As a North Carolina native, I love visiting the beach and traveling to the mountains to hit the slopes in the winter. Sports, fitness, and reading just about any book I can get my hands on have always been passions of mine - and I love learning what other people are passionate about!

Reaching out for counseling can be intimidating; seeking help is such a courageous first step!

I look forward to talking with you soon!

I prize highly-skilled people when I find them in my life's journey, and I aspire to be such a person for others!

Henri Nouwen's phrase "wounded healer" captures so well my life's passion... I had to find my own way out of pain via hard-earned life-lessons and endless reading and learning - and now it is my joy to share what I've learned with others!

I've been counseling in the Raleigh area for 15 years, and by the Grace of God folks told folks who told folks... 

In 2020, I stopped accepting Marital Counseling clients to focus on doing deep healing work with folks who haven't yet found answers elsewhere - it is my pleasure and calling to invest in helping those who feel afraid or stuck or frustrated with issues and themes that don't seem to easily heal or leave or end.

My professional career has spanned counseling adolescents and adults in Individual, PreMarital, Marital, Family, Employee Assistance Program, and Crisis forms of Counseling in residential foster care, community mental health, crisis call center (where I served as the Staff Trainer), and Biblical counseling settings. Before my professional counseling career, I was a Camp Counselor, a Big Brother, worked in Kairos Prison Ministry, served on Retreat Teams for the State of Maine, and was an Adult and Teen Sunday School Teacher and Superintendent. All that is only to say that God made sure I did some learnin' and gained some experience, LOL!

I counsel every clinical issue/topic that folks seek counseling for in the DSM, including Personality Disorders and the list of Issues Commonly Addressed (see HOME page) - except active Substance Addictions and Food-related concerns. I also counsel non-clinical matters; examples include Career and Calling, Adolescent development, Masculine development, Self-concept and Existential angst. And many of my Counseling clients transition into a Spiritual Formation/Discipleship relationship with me after their counseling work is complete.

I'm married and have two daughters and a son. I was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania, graduated with a degree in Music Production & Engineering from Berklee College of Music in Boston, and spent 10 years as an engineer in the music industry before I moved to NC in 2003 to begin my unfolding call as a Counselor. I love long walks and hikes with my Wife, have my favorite TV shows (I'm a bit of a documentary hound), am forever working on my tennis game, and to the popular question, "Are you a beach or mountain person?", I say, "Take me to the lake!" 😎

I look forward to hearing from you!

With You In His Grip -

In my own life, when I had to ask myself, “Now what?” after experiencing hurtful and difficult circumstances, God ignited the passion inside of me to walk with and encourage others as they are in a difficult season...

Throughout my life, I have been at low points and experienced negative situations that God turned around and used for good. The situations in which the devil tempted Jesus ended up glorifying Him rather than causing Him harm. It's a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience that can come from having faith in something greater than ourselves. So, when I was at those low points, there were two options for me - stay at the bottom of the pit or reach up as far as I could and have faith God would reach down the rest of the way to pull me up!

We see that God often uses strings behind the curtain to orchestrate situations that leave us confident that only God could have done that.  We see that God uses negative circumstances and what the devil intends for evil, but God turns it around and uses it for good to refine and improve us.

I was born and raised in Wake County, and I love the Carolinas, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the beaches. I love finding unique camping spots or hiking trails and enjoying God’s creation. In my free time, I love reading books and being in the kitchen baking cookies or trying out a new recipe.

I look forward to meeting you!
