He has multiple credentials (e.g., LCPC, LPC, PhD, CCTP, CGP, CSAC, CDVS) and is licensed in several states (including Idaho, Ohio, Maine, Nevada and South Carolina).

Work HistoryMy work in the mental health field has focused on helping adults, veterans, and children navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I have worked in community-based programs, private practice, and structured treatment settings, which has allowed me to develop a practical, grounded approach to therapy that focuses on real-life challenges and lasting change. A large part of my experience has been working with adults involved in court-ordered or mandated services, including domestic violence intervention, anger management, parenting programs, and substance use treatment. This work shaped a direct but supportive style that emphasizes accountability, emotional awareness, and concrete tools clients can use outside of sessions to better manage emotions, reduce harmful patterns, and improve relationships.
