Orrin believes that telling your story is transformative. An unexamined story hinders our abilities to tend to our own inner worlds, contributing to a range of issues such as anxiety/depression, shame, anger, compulsive/addictive behaviors, and difficult relationship patterns. Without realizing it, we can spend so much of our energy avoiding and managing our pain, that we have little left over to pursue the lives we were made for. Orrin’s own story bears this truth out. Growing up in Atlanta, Orrin played the “good Christian boy" role well, learning to reject parts of himself that didn’t fit into this model—and assuming God and others would as well. It wasn’t until he began to practice vulnerability that he opened himself to being loved and embraced exactly as he is—not as he should be. After graduating from the University of Georgia, Orrin spent some time in college ministry before becoming a high school English teacher, where he aimed to help students find threads of their own stories within the characters, worlds, and language of novels and poems. Orrin eventually felt a pull towards counseling and earned his M.A. from Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta. Orrin’s early clinical experience included private practice therapy with adults, adolescents, and families, as well as group therapy and assessments in psychiatric hospital and non-profit settings. In therapy, Orrin draws primarily from attachment science and family systems theory in order to help individuals and families move out of “stuckness” into connection, healing, and growth. When he’s not at the office, Orrin enjoys reading fiction, watching the Braves, cooking, and being outside. Most of all, Orrin loves spending time with his wife, his two daughters, and his friends.
