If you’re a veteran, a man struggling in a difficult relationship, or an adult who is tired of feeling stuck, you’re not looking for someone to simply listen and nod. You want things to change. I work especially well with people dealing with anxiety, anger, trauma, depression, relationship problems, low confidence, overthinking, addiction, or major life stress. My approach is practical and straightforward: we look at the thoughts, beliefs, habits, and circumstances keeping you stuck and start challenging them. I also work with men who feel overwhelmed, unheard, criticized, or uncertain of themselves in important relationships. Maybe you feel like you’re walking on eggshells, questioning yourself, feeling guilty for setting boundaries, or wondering whether you’re the problem. Counseling can help you rebuild confidence, establish healthier boundaries, and make decisions based on your own values rather than fear, guilt, or pressure. I’ve worked with thousands of clients and learned that people often have more strength than they realize. Sometimes you’ve believed lies about yourself for so long that they became part of who you see yourself to be. I’m Christian-friendly, but I meet everyone where they are. I listen closely, ask questions that make you think, challenge perspectives that may be keeping you stuck, and help you find solutions that work in real life. I don’t believe my job is to tell you how to live your life. I want our conversations to help you see your situation more clearly and decide what makes sense for you. I’m also a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan. I’ll gladly work with Michigan fans, too…but I can’t promise the same level of nonjudgmental neutrality I offer everyone else. :) Bring your sense of humor into sessions. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff. We can be real humans in the room together.
In our first session, I want to spend some time building rapport. But I also want to dive into your hopes about treatment and give you tools to start moving forward. I guarantee you have some strengths you have overlooked. Maybe your perspectives are a little off target. Maybe you've believed someone else's lies about you. Maybe you've believed your own lies about you. I'm most interested in how you think and the amount of effort you are willing to apply to improve your life. You set the pace. I’ll never push you faster than you’re ready to go.
My greatest strength is listening, not simply waiting for my turn to talk. I listen for patterns, contradictions, strengths you may be overlooking, and beliefs that are no longer helping you. Then I ask questions. Lots of questions. Sometimes one good question can change the direction of an entire conversation. I don't believe my job is to give you all the answers. My job is to help you become better at finding your own.
I work best with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, addiction, grief, trauma, adult ADHD, relationship struggles, and low self‑esteem. As a veteran, I have a special place in my heart for working with other veterans who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode. My goal is simple: help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, build healthier habits, and regain control of your life.

With Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy, we’ll focus on your future hopes and past successes — not just the problems. You have strengths you may not even realize yet. As you start believing in what’s possible, the past loses its grip. We’ll process what needs processing, but we won’t live there. Your energy belongs in the future you’re building.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we’ll examine the thoughts that shape your emotions and behaviors. The beliefs you’ve carried, whether planted by others or by your own inner critic, feel true until you put them on trial. When you challenge them with questions, logic, and facts, everything begins to shift.
If you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control, I’d be honored to walk with you through this by asking some questions to challenge your perspectives. I'm talking about light bulb over your head questions that really make you think as you answer. Questions change everything. Let’s get started.

I strolled through a lot of counselors and I took on a few but Billy' understands me. He's more my age bracket and understands my sense of humor. He's not judgmental nor does he play he has all the answers. That makes me comfortable he allows you to see that he's human. He doesn't make it feel like you're talking to a counselor he makes it like you're talking to a friend that only wants to see the best for you. He's helping me with the life turn around and I appreciate that.

Billy met me with patience, understanding, and a genuine willingness to listen. There was no judgment, only a safe space where I could speak honestly about what I’m carrying. He didn’t just hear me; he helped me see clearly. He left me with vital wisdom and practical truth I can apply right now, truth that challenges me to grow as a man, to lead my home better as a husband and father, and to walk more faithfully as a man of God. Thanks Billy.
