As Co-Owner and Director of Greenville Counseling Associates, I am committed to creating a practice where individuals and families feel supported, understood, and equipped for meaningful change.

I was born and raised in Perry, GA. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration from Auburn University (War Eagle!) and after marrying my beautiful wife, we moved back to Perry. I worked for our family business that my great grandfather started. After realizing this work was not for me, we moved to Greensboro, GA where I worked for the Ritz-Carlton. Three years and one son later, our family decided to move to Greenville, a city we visited a number of times and fell in love with. While in Greenville, I have worked in both management and sales roles. However, I began to realize just how much I enjoyed working with people one on one. Helping people work through difficult and challenging situations in their personal lives as well as their working lives was what I enjoyed most about my work. After much thought, prayer, and guidance I decided to pursue my Masters in Counseling.

I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. During that time I was able to intern at Shannon Forest Christian School where I began to really understand how much I enjoyed working with teenagers and also with parents who are struggling to be the parents that they want to be.  I also had the privilege of working with City Center Counseling Ministries for two years.

I am licensed by the state of South Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor and I truly enjoy working with teenagers to help them overcome the trials and struggles that typically come along at that age. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you think I could be a helpful resource for your child or your family.

If you aren’t sure if I am a good fit for you or your teen, maybe this will help. I love: 

• Sports (maybe a little too much)

• Chips and Salsa

• GIFs/Memes that perfectly express what you’re feeling

• Working quotes from The Office or Seinfeld into every conversation

• When something is really funny, but it is an inappropriate time to laugh

• The mountains

• The thought of waking up early and working out

• Sleeping in

• Eating after dinner
