About: My desire to become a licensed counselor grew out of personal
experiences with grief and healing. Walking through those seasons
shaped a deep compassion for others and a desire to help individuals
and families navigate life’s challenges with honesty and hope. I earned
my undergraduate degree in Christian Ministry and my master’s degree
in Marriage and Family Counseling from Mid-America Christian
University. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from
cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused interventions, while
remaining grounded in person-centered and family systems
frameworks.
Outside of the therapy room, I value time with my wife and our two boys
and enjoy being present in the rhythms of family life. I also have a
creative side and enjoy singing and playing guitar on Sunday mornings
at church. These spaces of connection, creativity, and rest help ground
me and inform the way I show up with clients.

Accepts Insurance: Yes
Insurance Accepted: Blue Cross & Blue Shield; Cigna

About: I’m an EMDR trained therapist committed to helping teens and adults learn how to develop positive coping strategies and overcome deep seeded negative beliefs. My work focuses on targeting the painful, negative memories that get stuck in your mind and body that impact you in the present. I use an integrated approach with EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the somatic experience to help clients break free of the past and move toward their present goals with a healthier mind and body.
With a background in athletics and high level competition, I believe in the power of the mind-body connection. Whether your goal is to overcome trauma, depression or anxiety, or help to reach your physical, athletic goals, I can help you find a way forward.
I have an undergraduate degree in Business Management and finished my Master of Arts in Counseling in 2012. I have a wonderful husband and we have three children who keep us busy. In my free time, you’ll find me working out, taxiing our kids to and from activities, or bodyboarding in the nearest ocean.
Accepts Insurance: Private Pay Practice
Standard Rate: $190

About: I believe healthy relationships are the means for positive change in our lives. In my approach, this means trust, safety, and giving and receiving feedback from each other is foundational in our work together. With the practice of curiosity and exploration, I integrate Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-oriented therapy approach, and attachment psychology to help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness, attunement with your internal experience and presence in your relationships with others. This will allow you to manage stress in healthy ways. My goal is not only to join you in resolving your symptoms, but to identify and resolve the source of those issues so you can experience healing, greater emotional capacity, resiliency, holistic health and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and specialize in addressing problematic behaviors, addiction, trauma and other stress disorders. As a supplement to my work, I am certified as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) Provider. I love to learn and often study in the areas of addiction and trauma. As a Board Approved Supervisor, I enjoy supporting new counselors, teaching and speaking on the topics of addiction and trauma.
I co-founded Communion Counseling and Wellness with the vision to bring together a variety of practitioners with various backgrounds, disciplines, perspectives and specialties in the healthcare and wellness fields to provide collaborative, holistic, integrative care and treatment on an outpatient basis.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in business and juris doctor from Louisiana State University. A few years later I went back to school and completed my master’s degree in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. Prior to founding Communion, I gained extensive clinical and managerial experience in an outpatient treatment setting.
I am married to my wife of 15 years and we have 3 kids that keep us busy and on our toes. We spend time darting around town cheering our kids on at their sporting events, traveling and exploring new places together, and relaxing on a beach somewhere.
