Accepting New Clients. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, angry, anxious, or just… off? Like you’re carrying something heavy but can’t quite name it? You’re not alone—you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I help people dealing with stress, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, and those quiet moments of “I don’t feel like myself anymore.” People come to me after months or years of trying to push through —being the strong one, keeping the peace, or burying what they feel. If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine, therapy can finally give you space to breathe, understand what’s going on inside, and make changes that actually last.
Using a mix of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma-therapy and other approaches, I help men process the hard stuff and develop real, lasting tools to feel more in control of their emotions, reactions, and decisions. We’ll work at your pace. No judgment, no psychobabble—just real conversations that lead to real change.
If you (or your partner) are ready to take that first step—whether it's for anxiety, trauma, anger, addiction, or just the sense that life could feel better—reach out. Therapy isn’t about being weak. It’s about getting stronger in the right ways.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can't shake. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of what you're carrying, and build practical tools that help you feel grounded, stronger, and more like yourself again—one steady, honest step at a time. Whether you're ready to run or walk, we will get there together.

I use a blend of EMDR, CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and coaching methods to offer personalized, effective therapy. EMDR helps process trauma, while CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns. Person-Centered Therapy fosters trust and empathy, and coaching techniques empower clients to set goals and create meaningful change. Together, these approaches support lasting transformation.
