In 1998 my lovely wife and I got married in Clifton United Methodist Church. I was an engineer in 1998 and after getting married I lost my engineering job. I was not satisfied being an engineer and thought about what I really want to do with my life. In engineering I did work for P&G and GE and solved problems on material things. I wanted to solve problems but invest in things that are eternal like people. This search led me to a dream job of counseling. I went back to school and got my Master of Arts in Counseling at Cincinnati Bible College and Seminary and graduated in 2002.
From 2002 to 2012 I was a case worker, individual and family counselor at Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky, Children’s Home of Cincinnati, Hamilton County Job and Family Services and Concern Services. I did Employee Assistance Program counseling for companies like P&G and GE at Concern Services. I was now solving emotional problems for people. In 2012 I started to work at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) working with medical doctors in the Emergency Department. I have completed over 3,500 psychiatry assessments in the Emergency Department at CCHMC. I have also done crisis counseling for children and family in outpatient psychiatry at CCHMC.
In 2017 I started Telehealth Hope Counseling and met with people at Clifton United Methodist Church which is the same church where I was married to my lovely wife in 1998. I am now solving problems for people using material things like computers doing telehealth to serve people. I use cognitive behavioral theory to help people with anxiety and depression. I am a New Life credentialed counselor that has helped with New Life’s weekend workshops: Every Man’s Battle and Intimacy in Marriage. I have helped many people with anxiety, depression, marriage counseling, sexual addiction and anger management. That’s my story, and I’d love to hear yours.
