Each of us is in an ever unfolding process of becoming a unique self in our own unique context with a unique story; a process that is developed by the people, places, and time in which we live. As a counselor, my goal is to help create a warm, safe, and supportive environment for individuals and families to explore and navigate their concerns and personal growth, supporting them in overcoming challenges and embracing their unique experiences and path. 

I am currently doing my internship for my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of West Georgia, and I also have an MA in both Psychology and in Theater. In my previous career, I co-founded a youth community theater program in Eureka Spring, Arkansas, where I was the primary theater educator and director. Whether it is board games and general silliness with my two daughters or going on imagined adventures through role playing games with my friends, play continues to be an important part of my life. 

Josh works under the direct supervision of Christy Burkett, LPC & Director of Gaia Counseling and provides counseling services at a reduced rate. Josh receives comprehensive weekly supervision and mentorship from Christy Burkett, an expert in play and family therapy, and Dr. Morgan Jenkins at University of West Georgia.
