About

Hi, I'm Matt.

I'm a counselor, a husband, a friend, a soccer coach, and a perpetual learner.

I was drawn to counseling from a young age through psychology classes that fascinated me, my faith journey, sports, and through my own seasons of asking hard questions about meaning and how to live well.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The Ohio State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), practicing under the supervision of Sharon Williston-Benadum, LPCC-S. My license number is C.2608567.

Outside of the office, I'm probably reading, listening to a podcast, traveling with my wife, coaching high school soccer, leading YoungLife, or hanging out with my friends.

I take this work seriously because I take people seriously. I work a lot with men navigating pornography use, sexual compulsivity, and the shame that tends to follow. If you're reading this and considering reaching out, that already tells me something good about the kind of life you want to live.
