Whether you're struggling with substance use yourself or loving someone who is, you don't have to figure it out alone. I support people living with substance use concerns and the partners, parents, and adult children who care about them. I also work with people navigating anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, and women's mental health, including postpartum concerns. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in both outpatient therapy and residential care, so I've worked with people at the very start of recovery and years into it. I'm trained in EMDR, Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT. I'll meet you with warmth and respect for where you are today.

Hi, my name is Austin and welcome to my private practice. As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I get the need and role of counseling firsthand. This is why I love counseling: I believe humans were created to share their stories and to work through difficulties together. Counseling is my life’s passion. I am truly honored and delighted to now walk alongside others in dark places toward durable hope and lasting change.

I am personally acquainted with the pain of grief. After the loss of my mother to suicide, I began a counseling journey that revealed many unexplored areas in my life that needed compassion and care. These experiences have brought me face to face with life’s difficulties.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) in Foreign Area Studies (Russia and Eastern Europe). After graduation, I worked as a military aviator and US Air Force Officer in domestic and international locations. I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master’s of Arts in Counseling and a Master’s of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary. Over the years, as a counselor, I have worked in a community-based counseling center, as a staff counselor for a church counseling center, and I am now in independent practice, working with men, veterans, couples, and families navigating trauma and PTSD, and the many ups and downs of life.

I have traveled throughout the world during my Air Force career. Seeing the many ways humans experience the world, in all its pain and joy, has only increased my passion to care for others. From working with teenagers and their struggles to individuals seeking hope to the married couple with decades of experience to everyone in between. I love working with people who are struggling and want change.

I am a state licensed mental health therapist with a strong passion for supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Virginia State University and my Master’s degree in Counseling with a concentration in Community Mental Health from Hampton University. I have also completed additional graduate coursework in clinical psychology. I proudly served in the U.S. Army Reserves for nine years, and I have been working in the mental health field since 2017.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My therapeutic approach includes Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe in meeting each client where they are and tailoring treatment to fit their unique needs. My goal is to help you build insight, develop practical coping skills, and gain the confidence needed to navigate life more effectively.

At this time, I offer telehealth services only, providing convenient and accessible care from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
