He graduated with his masters in clinical psychology from the Institute of Psychological Sciences, now Divine Mercy University, in 2013. From 2013 to 2021, Ian worked in a mental health agency providing services to children, adolescents, and adults, and directed a program that taught parenting skills to parents whose children were at risk of removal from the home. During that time, Ian received certifications in Child Centered Play Therapy and Relationship Enhancement® therapy for couples and families. He returned to Divine Mercy University as director of the IPS Center for Psychological Services in 2021.  Ian’s clinical interests include working with children and their families to address emotional regulation and behavioral concerns, addressing relationship concerns between couples, and working with individuals to better understand and respond to their internal emotional world. Ian utilizes modalities that are largely based on relationship as the healing factor, including Child Centered Play Therapy, Relationship Enhancement Therapy, and interventions from Internal Family Systems. Ian views the relationships clients have in therapy, with others in their lives, and within themselves as key to achieving healing and freedom.

I am a Certified EFT Therapist and ICEEFT approved Supervisor Candidate trained to work with adults via individual and couples therapy. I am licensed in Texas and Nebraska, as well as certified to provide teletherapy to all PSYPACT affiliated states (https://psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap). I love what I do, which is fueled by my passion for accompanying my clients through the sadness and fears of confronting unprocessed pain, the excitement of progressing in small and big ways, and the feeling of victory at the end of treatment. It is an honor to be a part of this process and to share the sacred ground where healing can occur.
