About Kyle
About Kyle
Kyle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Tennessee.
His passion and expertise is with adolescent / teenage boys and their families who are struggling to navigate through the difficult and confusing aspects of this culture and life. Additionally, Kyle works closely with those recovering from alcohol / drug addiction.
His early lessons in life and relationships came through the paradigm of athletics. Kyle was blessed with the opportunity to play basketball all four years he was in college. It was through those experiences on and off the court that much of his curiosity and interest in people and their stories began.
Prior to moving into full time private practice, Kyle worked at a residential treatment center with adolescent boys and their families who were struggling with substance abuse and addiction. During these years, Kyle also frequently spoke at national conferences, local schools, and parent groups. One of Kyle’s focuses continues to be the ever changing landscape of teenage substance abuse and the unique treatment it requires.
Kyle views life through a Christian perspective. He believes the nature of spirituality weaves in and out of every aspect of life. He is attentive to the expressed needs of his clients and have counseled in both Christian and secular settings. Kyle’s hope is to be able to come alongside each client - Christian and non-Christian alike - and join them wherever they are at on their journey.
Kyle practices out of The Counseling Center at Christ Community Church in Franklin, TN. He operates as an independent contractor to the church and provides necessary support for church members. Kyle is grateful to be able to serve both the local community and congregational members. For further information regarding The Counseling Center, please click here.
Kyle was born and raised in Knoxville, TN. It was there that he met his wife Kristen who is a Franklin native. Together they have two boys and a girl. When he’s not working Kyle enjoys hunting, being outside woodworking, reading, and spending time with his family (3 Labs included).
