About me

If you want a different kind of experience with someone who is open-minded, accepting, warm, curious, and insightful, I can help. We all have a story that's influenced by everything that has happened in our lives, and we are each in charge of the way that story unfolds. I love to use stories, myths, and visual analogies in my work. Let's work on yours together! I have served clients for 17 years and have significant experience with groups, families, adults, adolescents, and children. I am a licensed professional counselor and a national certified counselor. My philosophy of counseling is inspired by the work of Carl Jung who incorporated concepts of archetypes into his theories and I am interested in discovering how we can apply these ideas to our daily lives using a depth psychology perspective. We are all here for a reason and can change the world from within. I'd be honored to help you on your journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." -Roald Dahl I am a child of the 1980's and was raised on some of the greatest films of all time- The Neverending Story, Return to Oz, Labyrinth, and The Goonies. I have not lost touch with my inner child and still enjoy being silly, playing video games, telling stories, and getting into a little mischief. I do not apologize for this and won't stop doing it either. Yes I am a professional and take my work seriously, but I also believe that if we stop playing, we slowly die. We will absolutely not have a single session in which you don't laugh by the end, even if it's a brief one!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In addition to being licensed as a counselor, I completed a Certificate Program in Jungian Studies in 2020 through the Zur Institute. I hope to eventually become a certified Jungian analyst as this is my passion. Some of my favorite quotes from Jung: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.” “The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.”

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with both children and adults and at this time will be seeing new clients in my Vidalia office only.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In our modern age, we are inundated with information and yet we have a difficult time finding the answer to the question: "why am I here?" I have asked this question and continue to ask it. We are SUPPOSED to ask this, repeatedly. The answer reveals itself over time and the more we ask, the more we learn. I don't necessarily see purpose as a pre-packaged, external thing that we receive during a crystallized moment of time. It is a beautifully enigmatic, unfolding miracle that we learn more about every time we have a meaningful experience and connection.

I've been working with Kyle for a year now and can honestly say he's the best therapist I've ever had. I always look forward to our sessions and feel as though I've made significant progress over this past year, and will continue to make more moving forward. I could not have gotten to where I am now without his guidance. Highly recommend!

Very helpful. He likes to really learn the problem and root cause of issues so that he can better help.

Kyle did a great job of introducing himself and his practice. I appreciated being able to get to know more about him before we began meeting regularly. I also enjoyed that he left off with an open-ended, thought-provoking question that will prepare me for our next therapy session.
