My professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to service, education, and personal growth. I earned my Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision from Hampton University, a master’s in Counselor Education from Virginia State University, and a bachelor’s in Sociology from Hampton University.

I have experience working across community, academic, private practice settings, and the public sector. These diverse environments have allowed me to walk alongside individuals and professionals navigating a wide range of experiences — from trauma and identity development to career transitions and relational healing.

I also serve as a counselor educator and consultant, providing training and development for counselors-in-training, and other individuals and organizations seeking to foster resilience, leadership, and cultural awareness. My background in counselor education allows me to integrate theory with lived experience — blending evidence-based practice, reflective insight, and a holistic understanding of wellness.

While my professional training provides the structure for my work, my faith provides the heart. I approach each person and consultation with humility, grace, and respect, trusting the process and the resilience that already exists within each person I meet. Whether I’m in the therapy space, the classroom, or a training space, my goal remains the same: to help others cultivate awareness, manifest wellness, and live with intention.

In addition to my professional life, I’m a husband and a proud dog dad. My wife and I rescued our fur baby 14 years ago, and she’s been part of our story ever since. As often as we can, we love to travel and spend time with friends and family. Though I can be serious at times, the truth is, I love to laugh (low key, I think I’m a comedian)! And, I’ll also admit… I have a soft spot for reality TV — it keeps me entertained and reminds me that everyone’s story has a bit of drama, humor, and heart.
