In our therapy sessions, I’m here to lend you an empathetic ear and provide you with the tools you need to journey towards greater self-understanding and self-acceptance. Together, we’ll explore the depths of who you are, your desires, and aspirations. Through our conversations, you’ll have the space to share both your challenges and triumphs, allowing us to delve into your experiences and relationships with care and compassion.

I find great joy in immersing myself in nature’s beauty, often embarking on scenic road trips, with a particular fondness for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of our National Parks. The Smoky Mountains hold a special place in my heart, and I’ve made countless visits to marvel at its beauty and observe the wildlife, especially the awe-inspiring black bears. When I’m not surrounded by the wonders of the great outdoors, you can often find me enjoying time with my wife and our canine companions, Cadey Bear and Twinkie, who bring boundless warmth and love into our lives.
