As a therapist, I aim to create a space where clients can speak honestly about what they’re carrying, without pressure to have everything figured out. I work with men and teen boys who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and questions around faith or identity. My approach is practical and collaborative, focused on understanding patterns, building emotional awareness, and setting clearer, healthier boundaries. I help my clients explore identity and purpose, supporting them in developing greater confidence, direction, and stability as they work toward meaningful change in their lives.
I specialize in Christian counseling and trauma-informed care. I believe healing is an active process, and you should understand. In our work, I’m clear about goals and direction. I use tailored tools and interventions based on what you’re facing, to help you process challenges and build practical skills you can use outside of session.
I’m here to help you work through what’s been weighing on you. I will help support you in navigating stress, family dynamics, Church hurt, and uncertainty around identity or purpose. Therapy isn’t just a place to talk about these things, it’s a place to work through them in ways that lead to real healing, clarity, and forward movement.
