The Person Behind the Work
Clinical experience. Public conversation. Professional community.
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, a writer, and the founder of Conservative Counselors. Across each part of my work, I believe care and compassion belong alongside truth, personal agency, and common sense.
Before therapy, I spent years in communications and ministry – work that shaped how I think, how I speak, and why I speak up when something is wrong in mental health, politics or culture.
My clinical work informs my writing. My writing challenges the assumptions shaping mental health and culture. Conservative Counselors connects people with professionals who respect their values and worldview.
Along with my private practice, my focus has expanded to writing, building professional communities, and speaking out against ideological capture in mental health.
