I am a 35 year-old therapist living in the beautiful blue ridge mountains of Virginia.  I am a father of four beautiful children (8,6,5, and a newborn).  I am married to a beautiful woman who happens to be my best friend.

I completed my Bachelors Degree in Social Work (BSW) in 1996 from Concord University in Athens, WV.  I have also completed my Masters Degree in Social Work (MSW) in 2003 from West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV.  In addition, I have also completed several courses in Special Education through Radford University.

I have been employed within the counseling field for nearly 15 years.  Even though I have helped nearly all populations, I primarily focus on children and families.  I have extensive knowledge on behavior management, individual counseling, family counseling, group counseling, and case management.  I firmly believe that anyone can improve their lives, if they truly want to.

The first and most crucial step is: 

ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF AND STOP BLAMING.
