As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients address stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and anger management with compassionate, faith-informed guidance.
As well as being retired military I fully understand and sympathize with the multiple issues individuals and families may face while serving or having served in military service for our nation.
I understand the unique struggles many face—from social anxiety and panic disorders to life transitions like divorce and separation. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to explore deeper personal meaning, heal from past traumas, and develop healthier communication strategies.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where individuals can confront challenging emotions like guilt and shame, work through control issues, and rediscover their inner strength. My practice is particularly attentive to clients seeking a Christian-centered perspective and those in later stages of life.
My commitment is to walk alongside you, offering understanding and practical tools to help you move toward greater emotional wellness and personal growth.

Raymond provided honest feedback and support and helped me tremendously. After making a horrible mistake in my life, Raymond helped me turn self-hate into a focus on loving myself and loving others.

Raymond is a man’s man. Listens to me and questions things I am wrong about and encourages/educates the correct response. I am very grateful to have Raymond as my therapist.

He listens and makes great suggestions such as doing the journaling I haven't done and forever and normally don't but the features with the app send me a reminder. And even though in my mind he didn't have to respond at all I really do appreciate his feedback and it pushes me more into the direction of what this is all about my feelings.
