About Me
Professional
My counseling career, in Arizona, began in 2003 working at an outdoor-based therapy program for teens, young adults and their parents. I offered support to these families for over twelve years either as a counselor, clinical coordinator or clinical supervisor. I have also provided counseling to individuals and couples, in various outpatient settings, for over 10 years.
​
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Arizona since 2006 and have also been an approved Clinical Supervisor for much of that time.
​
I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Marriage, Family and Human Development at Brigham Young University in 2001. I then completed a Master’s Degree in Social Work also at Brigham Young University in 2003.
Personal
I was raised in a small town in Montana where a culture of community, extended family connections and traditional values existed. My parents showed me how to work hard and provided a supportive family setting for me and my three siblings, one of which is an identical twin. As a teenager I enjoyed playing sports such as basketball, track, and weight lifting (including hay bales and sprinkler pipe).
As a result of various life experiences, I deepened my appreciation and respect for the value of each individual. I became interested in using my talents to serve others in a meaningful way, and counseling seemed like an ideal fit for me.
Indeed, counseling has been a career that I have deeply enjoyed. I find fulfillment in supporting individuals and couples to live their most peaceful, balanced, and connected lives.
​
In my free time I enjoy reading books and listening to podcasts related to improving my role as a counselor and enhancing my health and relationships. I also enjoy practicing meditation, running, lifting weights, and enhancing my relationships with my wife and four children.
