Whether you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together, stuck in the same arguments with your partner, or wondering why life feels harder than it should, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection. I help men and couples who want to move beyond simply managing life's challenges to building healthier relationships—with themselves and the people they love. My approach is collaborative and practical. Together, we'll explore patterns that keep you stuck, build on your strengths, and find solutions that create meaningful change.
Before therapy, I spent over 20 years working in leadership, nonprofit, higher education, government, and the creative arts. I understand the pressures that come with juggling demanding careers, a 22-year marriage, parenting teens, and trying to be everything for everyone. That experience informs how I connect with my clients and help them move forward.
As someone who also goes to therapy, I get it—getting started can be hard. Finding someone who gets you can be harder. Whether this is your first time, you've had a negative past experience, or you're just needing a restart, I would be honored to partner with you and help you discover a life of greater peace, purpose, and connection.
