Travis has a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a specialization in Christian Sex Therapy from Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta.
He graduated from Berry College in 1998. Shortly thereafter, he started law school in Atlanta, but soon felt a different calling to work in overseas missions. In 2003 he and his family moved to SE Asia where they spent six years working to build relationships and change lives. In 2009, they moved their family back to the US and he began pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
On the marriage front, Travis’ passion is to serve couples by helping couples find greater intimacy, trust, healing, and restoration in their relationships. To that end, he has been involved with marital intensives with both individual couples and multiple couples group therapy for 5 years as both a co-therapist and lead therapist. The intensive couples therapy was done through Winshape Marriage and the National Institute of Marriage.
The fundamental issues he most often addressed in couples therapy is communication breakdown, infidelity and broken trust, chronic conflict, and helping couples find intimacy, vulnerability, and safety with their spouse. Many couples seek marriage/couple therapy feeling the situation to be hopeless, but find that they have the ability to identify and break the cycle of conflict and create positive and healthy change in the relationship.
Additionally, he also has a deep desire to help men struggling with various sexual issues and sexual addictions that often cause problems in their relationships with spouses, and other close relationships. Travis has walked with many men through the pain and shame of sexual addiction to find wholeness and healing.
The therapeutic models Travis primarily practices Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He believes in practicing both spiritually grounded and clinically sound therapy.
He has been married to his wife Stephanie for 31 years, and they have two adult daughters, 2 adult sons, and two grandsons. They currently reside in Rome Georgia.
