I believe you already possess within you, everything you need to work through whatever issue you bring to my office. You simply need some help pulling it out. Maybe you know exactly what the issue is or maybe you are having a hard time pinpointing what is going on, but you know something "feels off". Two of the biggest questions we tackle in your first session are, "What final made you decide to come to therapy?" and "What do you hope to gain by coming to therapy?" These two questions help lay the foundation we will build on.

Together we can build an alliance that allows them to feel safe and heard, and develop skills that will have life long benefit.

I'm a simple guy and straight-shooter, which means I'm a great fit for hard-working folks who want honest, solution-focused discussions about change. Guilt and shame have no place in my counseling room, only the realization that we're all human, all have our flaws, and all are struggling to figure out how to live with less chaos. I love working with men who aren't thrilled about the idea of going to individual or couples therapy, as well as law enforcement and first responders.

I want to start by saying that I truly hold a solid belief that each and every human deserves to feel happiness, love, excitement, contentment, and ultimately to achieve their dreams, desires, goals, and best-selves! I implement an integrative approach, with a craving to help. Whether that assistance be with a child struggling with ADHD, an individual learning to cope with anxiety/depression, a couple struggling, or an entire family in need, I am devoted to seeking out and destroying the obstacles, strongholds, cognitive distortions, or whatever the “problem” is that is impeding their ability to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives.

We go to a medical doctor when we are ill and to the dentist when we have a toothache, as well as regular check-ups when we are not ill or in pain. So why not see a mental health professional when life becomes stressful or when faced with a problem? Why not go in for a regular checkup as well? We go through several stages in life, such as marriage, parenthood, and retirement. We are faced with new obstacles at each stage. As a mental health professional, I can assist you in navigating these new stages and obstacles.

I have experience and enjoy working with adolescents and adults of different ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment, and stress.

For many years my clients have primarily been individuals, groups, and families coming out of abusive and sometimes violent relationships and addiction. Although that was the original primary focus, most of them also struggled with other accompanying factors like depression, anxiety and other serious mental health diagnoses. My clinical focus has recently shifted to more of a community-based population. I have found this work incredibly rewarding. I enjoy working with additional needs such as grief, prenatal, postpartum depression, and abandonment trauma to name a few.
