I have been working in a drug treatment program specializing in substance use disorders with adult males. I also have experience with teenagers. I like to focus on trauma treatment and meeting a client where they are at.

I specialize in working with trans clients, especially teenagers. I am a trans man and am able to understand the nuances of gender identity that many cisgender therapists may miss. I typically approach therapy through the lenses of narrative therapy and attachment-based family therapy. My goal is to help clients feel a strong sense of self and connection.

If you are seeking to understand more, grow, or heal, than you are my ideal client. Any issue and any person with a desire to understand the complexity of life's changes is a person I want to work with. I want to help you on your journey to heal your emotional wounds and create or build upon a self-compassionate and caring you. I want you to feel engaged in sessions and life, cultivating a more empowered you and meaningful life.

A quote I like from Oliver Wendell Holmes- "The most important thing in this world is not so much where we stand, but in what direction we are moving". Life is something to be enjoyed, not just something to struggle through! I believe that finding our happiness and fulfillment is a skill, an "ability" that lies within each of us. I believe you possess the solutions to your problems and my job is to help you discover those solutions. I have a strong orientation in Brief Solution Focused Therapy, searching with you for solutions to your problems with a very positive, time sensitive and forward looking approach.

You want to feel connected to yourself, and confident in your ability to connect with others at home, at work, and in your community.

As interesting of a person as I might be, within therapy you are the focus. I am here to assist you. Within sessions I support your growth, your learning, your clarity.

I come from a military background and family. Which means I have lived in so many places. I feel this contributed to my love of diversity, in both my professional and personal life.

As humans, it is not a matter of ‘if’ we will encounter the less glamorous aspects of life, but ‘when’. Each of us has the innate capacity to work through moments of change and transformation although, at times, that truth may feel impossible, false, or inadequate. As a practicing clinical therapist, my intention is to collaborate with you to support your own inner power to regain control in your life within a nonjudgmental and confidential safe space. In fostering your unique abilities together through exploration, processing, and individualized modalities, it is my goal to empower you to aspire to your full potential.

Do you feel stuck? Are you always tired, overwhelmed, worried, or sad? Do you feel “not good enough”? Have you done everything “right” but just aren’t happy? You might be having a hard time figuring out how or why you are feeling the way you do. Are you tired of dealing with the same thing over and over and never seeming to go anywhere? Maybe everyone else around you just seems to “get” it, but for some reason you just can’t. If any of this sounds familiar, let’s work together to help you work through unhelpful actions, beliefs, and past experiences that hold you back from living the rich, full, and meaningful life that YOU want.
