As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I get the need and role of counseling first-hand. When I was in my 20’s my mother committed suicide. Her death exposed wounds in my past I had not yet confronted, and set in motion a sequence of events that became the foundation for my life’s passion and work: counseling. I am truly honored and delighted to now walk along side others in dark places towards hope and holistic growth.

I love working with all kinds of people. As a former military aviator (pilot) and US Air Force Officer, working with military families and their struggles is something I care deeply about. But after spending time in the military and traveling throughout the world in various work contexts, I have only a greater passion for understanding people and their experiences. From working with teenagers and the struggle this time in our lives brings, to individuals seeking hope, to the married couple with decades of experience – to everyone in between, I love working with people who are struggling and are wanting change.

I received my Bachelor’s in Foreign Area Studies (Russia and Eastern Europe) from the United States Air Force Academy. Following several years of work as a military aviator and US Air Force Officer, I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master’s of Arts in Counseling and a Master’s of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary. Over the years as a counselor I have worked in a community-based counseling center, as a staff counselor for a church counseling center, and I am now in independent practice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the state of Colorado. I am also able to provide telehealth for clients with additional needs for flexibility. I look forward to meeting you!

When I am not in a professional setting, you can find me doing something to enjoy the outdoors or watching a show. I have a wonderful wife, four active, loving children, and a humbly growing garden.
