Hello

I am so glad you are here. Looking for a therapist is a meaningful step towards feeling better and living a full and wonderful life. I have included some information about me and my practice. I do encourage you to contact me for a free 15-minute conversation. I feel this is the best way for us to discover if we are a good fit. 

My Story

I am a licensed clinical social worker associate (LCSW-A) and licensed clinical addiction specialist associate (LCAS-A) with a passion for helping adults on their recovery journey. As a gay man originally from Mississippi, I bring a deep understanding of how trauma and addiction can shape lives—and how recovery can transform them.

​

For many years, I lived under the weight of my own traumas and addictions, unsure how to ask for help or if recovery was even possible for me. My journey has taught me that healing begins with aligning life with your values and building authentic, meaningful connections. This perspective inspires my work as a therapist and informs how I support my clients in creating the lives they want to live.

​

I hold Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Western Carolina University and am a Board Trustee of a National Non-Profit Organization dedicated to fostering recovery and connection. As a member of NASW and IASWG, I stay committed to ongoing learning and to creating inclusive, supportive spaces where individuals feel empowered to thrive.

​

Whether in my office or through telehealth, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where we can work together to move through fear and toward the life you deserve.
