My passion is to work with relationships to unite against the blocks that hinder growth in one's process. I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT), Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), and an Advanced Emotion Focused Therapist (EFT). My current occupation is with KALEO, PLLC and Oaks Counseling, LLC. Soon I will be applying to begin my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

 

My hobbies include golf, writing, and teaching. A final interest is coffee, having worked as a Barista at the Cafe on Broadway in Siloam Springs, AR. I have taught a variety of individual sessions at the Graduate and Undergraduate level. I have articles published in Celebrate Arkansas and lead events based on the series "Hold Me Tight - Conversations for Connection" - developed by Dr. Sue Johnson.

 

Upon the completion of my Undergraduate studies, I was diagnosed with cancer and have been in remission as of 2013. As a survivor, the experience taught me humility and the importance of family, fueling my passion for growth. Stef (my wife) and I attend New Heights of Bentonville, AR.
