Robert is a licensed associate professional counselor at Paraclete Counseling Center in Suwanee, Georgia. He received an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and a BS in psychology from Georgia College and State University. He enjoys helping adolescents and adults gain insight into how to better manage their life stressors in the areas of anxiety, depression, work, relationships, and spiritual direction.  He also enjoys working with premarital and married couples in building better communication skills, stronger relationship bonds, and shared-life meaning. He has had training in dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. These areas of training have helped Robert learn how to help clients build better habits of self-care and mental health so they can be more available to serve and love others that God has placed in their community.  As a result of benefiting from personal counseling, Robert’s heart is especially called to help men experience freedom and healing. As a man, he understands how difficult it can be for men to open up about insecurities and to let their guards down, but he also knows the power of forgiveness and healing waiting for these men who are willing to step out in faith to be made more complete in the image of God. To further support clients, Paraclete Counseling Center offers to file out-of-network insurance.
