Certified Brain Health Coach – Amen Clinics

PROFESSIONAL

In my professional career, I have received my bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Management, worked in the corporate world for 10 years, and completed graduate school as well. I hold a Master of Arts in Christian Counseling and I am fully licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist through the state of Minnesota. I thoroughly enjoy working with couples, families, and counsel both men and women individually as well. Much of the work I do with clients focuses on navigating through anxiety, depression, shame, addiction, emotional regulation, communication, infidelity, conflict management, and improving marital intimacy using the medium of exploration, insight acquisition, goal refinement, and behavioral change.

PERSONAL

Originally from Florida, I spent 11 years in Chicago, 3 in Charlotte, and now permanently reside in Minnesota. My wife and I have been married for over 17 years with 4 children and have plenty of stories of comedy and tragedy. Due to my own developmental and family of origin experiences, I know that life can be messy, overwhelming, and that finding a framework to orient yourself can be extremely challenging. I am motivated to work with youth, individuals, families and couples in coping with all that life throws at us while helping you find calm in the chaos of relationships and direction in your relationship to the world.

In my free time, I pursue several hobbies including playing guitar, woodworking, photography, and sports. I was a collegiate gymnast and to this day continue to enjoy not only the mental challenge of sports, but the friendly relationships built through competition.
