About

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here!

If you’re struggling with anxiety, OCD, or the effects of trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. I specialize in working with individuals who experience generalized anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, complex trauma, and PTSD, helping them navigate the overwhelming thoughts, fears, and emotions that can make daily life feel exhausting.

Anxiety can show up in many forms—constant worry, racing thoughts, intrusive fears, physical symptoms, or avoidance of situations that feel overwhelming. It can make even simple decisions feel paralyzing and create a sense of being stuck. Trauma, whether from past experiences or ongoing stress, can keep you in a cycle of hypervigilance, emotional distress, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Through evidence-based approaches, I help clients untangle the root causes of their anxiety and trauma, develop effective coping strategies, and reclaim a sense of control, confidence, and peace.

In addition to my work with anxiety and trauma, I also support men’s mental health and leadership coaching. Many men feel pressure to suppress emotions, navigate personal struggles alone, or meet high expectations at work and home. I provide a space to explore these challenges, build emotional resilience, and cultivate the skills needed for personal and professional growth.

Healing and growth are possible. Whether you’re looking to manage anxiety, process trauma, or strengthen your leadership and confidence, I’m here to help.  Let’s take the next step together.

I am married to my wife of 30 years and have two children.  I am licensed in Georgia and Florida as a clinical social worker and have over 25 years of clinical and executive-level social work experience.
