Drew is a Resident in Counseling who graduated from Liberty University with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Drew currently specializes in treatment for adults and adolescents who may struggle with addiction, trauma, grief, mental health (anxiety, depression), ADHD/ADD, personality disorders, and relationships (both to self and others).

Drew considers his counseling approach unorthodox. He has a deep appreciation for creativity and enjoys incorporating this into counseling. He accentuates the importance of holistic practices while integrating specific therapeutic approaches that are deemed best to the individual and what they hope to gain from counseling. Drew utilizes an array of therapeutic modalities including person-centered, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), solution focused, and goal-oriented approaches.

Drew emphasizes that “authenticity” and “open-mindedness” are key components in building a healthy therapeutic relationship. Drew is a firm believer in “paying it forward” and looks forward to helping you on your journey of growth.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
– Carl Jung
