Thanks for your interest. I believe that all people have worth and the potential to cultivate a life they are content with. My approach to therapy is based on the view that much of our suffering stems from unhelpful ways of thinking. Through critically examining how we think, we can replace unhelpful ways of thinking with rational & helpful ways of thinking—leading to healthier emotions and behavior. In therapy, we will explore this and other evidence-based approaches. If you are apprehensive about starting therapy, rest assured that my aim is to provide a confidential & non-judgmental space where you will feel comfortable.
I specialize in men's issues but welcome all clients. My qualifications allow me to assist with a wide range of mental health issues, substance use problems, or career-related concerns. I am also comfortable delving into deeper existential or philosophical issues if that interests you—meaning, purpose, values, and how to build a life you can be content with.
If you are turned off by traditional approaches to counseling or what you think counseling typically looks like, you might prefer my approach. I utilize a practical, present-focused, and often philosophical approach—providing a unique perspective to address your concerns. I am also flexible and open to accommodating those who prefer other approaches.

I primarily use rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and existential therapy. With REBT we will look at how your beliefs and thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors, and we will work together to see if any of your beliefs are irrational or self-defeating. With existential therapy we will explore meaning and living by your own values.
