Eric joined our team in 2022 as a counselor in the counseling center and has recently started meeting with the resident boys in the Boys home. He received his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Georgia in 2018. He later received a Biblical Counseling Certificate through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. Eric has worked in Youth Ministry in 3 different churches over the course of 9 years.

Eric has been married since 2018. He and his wife, Jolie have 3 children. Eric and his family are active in establishing a House church in Pickens County that aims to equip God’s people through discipleship and counseling. He takes his role as Husband, Father, and Pastor as a calling from God to steward well. When he is not counseling in the counseling room, he enjoys doing anything outside (i.e camping, sports, hiking) with his family while drinking a nice cup of coffee.

It is clear, Eric’s goal and approach in counseling is to honor and glorify God by using God’s Word, though the power of the Holy Spirit, to give hope and counsel. Everyone at some point goes through heartache, pain, and suffering of some sort. God has given us all that we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), and that is found in His Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
