He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Missouri - Saint Louis and has completed post-graduate certification as a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, credentials that reflect specialized training in remote care and trauma-informed work.
He most often draws from client-centered principles, solution-focused strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and he also integrates mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. His work prioritizes evidence-based, mainstream approaches and emphasizes practical coping skills and skill-building exercises aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.

He also offers targeted attention to areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, chronic illness and disability, communication and control issues, and the needs of veterans, first responders, and healthcare workers.
His professional background includes service in the United States Coast Guard and experience in corporate sales prior to working as a counselor. Outside of practice he is married, shares life with a teen daughter and a rescue dog, and enjoys walking, cooking, listening to music, kayaking, and travel. His practice philosophy centers on creating a nonjudgmental, supportive space where people can work toward greater resilience, healing, and a more satisfying quality of life.

Therapists providing remote care are licensed professionals, and clients may switch providers if they would like a different match. Online therapy can offer a practical, accessible option for people seeking professional support from licensed professionals and therapists.
