(he/him)
Hello! I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor with a supervisor designation in the state of Ohio and a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I received my master's degree in community counseling from Malone University in Canton, OH. In addition to counseling, I enjoy coaching and refereeing sports at the youth level and at the high school level. I am a supporter of our military being a veteran and a father to three wonderful children
In your first session with me, we are just going to have a conversation. I look at this as a time for you to get to know me and make sure I'm the right fit to entrust your mental health care needs with. I keep this very conversational, and my goal is to gain a better understanding of who you are and why you're coming into therapy. Ultimately, this is your chance to give me a job interview and see if you feel that I can effectively and efficiently help you through the struggles of your life that you are currently encountering.
My greatest strength as a provider is my vast experience. Throughout my life, I have been in the military, worked in the corporate world, and have now spent many years assisting people with emotional, psychological, and substance abuse issues. With this experience, I am confident in my abilities to be eclectic and understanding, which in turn creates an empathetic, supportive, and safe environment for you to be able to grow and improve to be the person you want to be.
By gaining years of experience, I like to work with a variety of individuals. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction issues, or any other mental health problems, my eclectic approach to therapy will help you not only see results but improve the overall quality of your life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The basis of cognitive behavioral therapy is that you have thoughts that equal your feelings and your feelings result in your actions. If we are going to change the way you're acting and feeling we must look at the way you're thinking. During the course of this therapeutic modality we aim to identify cognitive distortions and build coping skills to help alleviate those distortions.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a distinctive psychotherapy approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Francine Shapiro, EMDR has since gained widespread recognition as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other conditions related to psychological trauma. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR incorporates bilateral stimulation—most commonly, guided eye movements—that assist individuals in processing challenging experiences in a structured, innovative manner.

We are close in age so he understands about my upbringing. Very warm welcoming. Great at listening and understanding where I feel like I’m coming from.
