Let’s Get to Know Each Other
Hi, I'm Ron. I’m dedicated to creating a nurturing space where you feel safe to share your deepest vulnerabilities. I work collaboratively with you to explore the roots of your challenges, empowering you to achieve meaningful, healthy change.
I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Liberty University and will complete my degree in December 2025. I have experience working with individuals, marriages, and families impacted by trauma and sexual addiction. My passion is helping people break out of painful cycles and move toward growth, healing, and stronger relationships.
Outside of the therapy room, I live on a small farm where I enjoy outdoor projects, caring for the land, and spending quality time with my family. I also love sports of all kinds. I believe in the dignity and value of every person and strive to provide a collaborative, non-judgmental space where healing can begin.
What Clients Can Expect
Clients can expect a calm, nurturing environment where they are met with genuine care and understanding. Through supportive reflection, they gain insight into negative beliefs and patterns that may be holding them back. My goal is to help you gently uncover these cycles and equip you with tools to bring about lasting, meaningful change.
Strengths as a Therapist
I’m known for my calm presence, deep empathy, and ability to build trust quickly. I listen closely and offer reflective insights to help you gain clarity on your path. My collaborative approach is grounded in compassion, resilience-building, and respect for each client’s unique story.
Ideal Client
My ideal clients are individuals, couples, or families who feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns. I work best with those who are motivated to explore these patterns, understand their roots, and take intentional steps toward a healthier way of living and relating.
Treatment Approaches
My approach is trauma-informed and tailored to each individual or system I work with. I integrate:
Attachment Theory
Family Systems Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
I combine insight with practical tools to help you build the skills needed for long-term growth and relational healing.
