Life doesn't come with a roadmap. Whether you're a young adult navigating independence, a man struggling to find your place, part of a couple facing challenges, or caught in addiction's grip—you don't have to figure it out alone. The questions keeping you up—"Am I safe? Loved? Lovable?"—are valid. When relationships feel stuck, addiction feels out of control, or life transitions overwhelm you, these become urgent. But here's what I know: there is always a path forward. You're not broken. You're human.

I specialize in young adults, men's issues, couples, and sexual addiction recovery. Using client-centered therapy and CBT, I create safe spaces where vulnerability meets understanding. Your story matters, and healing happens when courage meets compassion. I enjoy faith-based discussion, and welcome working with clients from all faith backgrounds.

Ready to move from surviving to thriving? You don't need it all figured out—just willingness to begin. If you're tired of feeling stuck, I'm here to join you on your journey. Your story isn't over. Let's write the next chapter together in therapy.
