I look to help you identify your strengths and utilize them so that you can achieve your desired outcomes. My approach is to utilize multidimensional psychodynamic tools based upon your life course and inherent difficulties. In conjunction with the client, goals will be developed and guidance will be provided in order to achieve the optimal short term gains and long term objectives. Change is achieved through solution focused and task based theories to help achieve change. These tools can be particularly helpful for those coping with negative thought patterns, depression, anxiety, developmental differences, executive functioning difficulties and challenges associated with trauma and transitions. My practice has entailed work with a wide variety of individuals and focused upon the needs of each person. I have also engaged in practice with individuals with autism, those impacted by a wide range of environmental challenges as well as those having difficulty making life transitions. I have also participated in family based crisis management, helped families develop a range of techniques to improve relationships with their significant others and acted as a conduit between family members coping with trauma. I live with my wife, daughters and two dogs and have a passion for helping others. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you have your aspirations align with your actions!

I am licensed in South Carolina with 32 years of professional work experience. My purpose is to help you learn to take back control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can achieve the results you want. Taking charge of your life requires you to first look within. Where are you at now? What is your story? Where do you want to go? Our work together will encourage a shift in your thinking, giving you the power to identify new skills and greater self-awareness, resulting in a transformation you never imagined. Stop seeing yourself as broken or something needing to be fixed. In the story of your life, you are an authentic character with worth and value just as you are. Through curiosity, self-compassion, acceptance, courage, and vulnerability, growth and desired change is inevitable. You will become empowered to find relief from stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and low levels of confidence. It is my belief and intention to help you see how the challenges and obstacles you have experienced have strengthened you, not broken you. Taking this brave first step to look within is your first step to becoming who you want to be.
