About

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida with a Master's in Marriage and Family therapy. I specialize in relationships and family dynamics. I am a father of two which includes a step-daughter and special needs son and have been married for 17 years. The rollercoaster ride of relationships and the family system is my passion. I can walk with you through anxiety, depression, trauma, and anything else life decides to throw your way. Most recently, I have been supporting individuals with substance abuse disorders at a nationally respected and recognized treatment center. I can assist in navigating a way back to sobriety and to help families heal from the toll that substance abuse takes on them and their loved ones. Christian counseling is available and part of my own personal journey. As I respect each individual's personal journey, it will only be included by your request. We all list the styles of therapy that as counselors we employ but at the end of the day you are coming to a therapist to be heard, be understood, and to be supported. I will do that for you without judgment or criticism. Let’s talk today!
