About

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, licensed in Maryland and Virginia. I have been in the "people business" for over 36 years and have during the last four years served in a psychotherapeutic role. My work in the federal government was heavy in conflict management, mediation, and promoting the psychological well-being of the workforce. I am also a husband, father, grandfather, and retired military veteran with several tours to various warzones. As a result, I have worked with clients in a wide variety of trauma-related issues, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. As a man of faith, active in my church, I recognize the strength that comes from having a firm foundation on which to stand.

My counseling approach is compassionate and I seek to understand the world as you see it. I believe in an empathetic, non-judgmental interaction that is designed to portray the utmost respect for you. I use an integrative style that combines cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic counseling techniques. I am trained in several trauma-specific modalities which can be adapted for this environment. In the end, what you need matters most and I will make ever effort to meet your specific needs.

You've taken one of the hardest steps already by seeking support. I'd be honored to take the next steps with you.

I look forward to working with you.
