You want a happy, healthy family but the kids are fighting you, the in-laws or your parents are stressing you, or your kids are grown and you don't know what to do anymore because they aren't there. What is a normal family supposed to be like? Will my kids be ok or am I messing them up? Real fears from real parents. Will my relationship survive or how can I have a healthy relationship after years of bad ones? Parenting and relationships are hard and uniquely complicated. I see the struggle and am here to help guide your family into a better way that works instead of redoing the same old thing that hasn't been working.

My passion is helping men find a sense meaning and purpose in their lives. I believe this happens when a person is congruent, meaning they are in touch with who they are, what they feel, and what they want, and they act accordingly. I mostly work with men who struggle with issues around addiction, codependency, relationships, and family. I try to see these through the lens of our individual beliefs about modern manhood. My career spans 20 plus years. During that time, I’ve worked for some of the best addiction treatment providers in the world.

Everyone has their own experiences to bring to the table. In imagining my ideal client, they want to feel heard, have a voice, and matter. They want to see changes and improvements in their lives because they are tired of things spiraling and want to get off the rollercoaster. Their issues could be substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. When it comes to their needs they may need extra supports, learn social skills, need someone to listen, or figure out healthy ways to cope. Their goals are to find their purpose in life and do it abundantly.

I love partnering with those who want more in life....more joy, sense of fulfillment and impact, freedom, rich relationships, and a closer walk with God. Issues such as low self esteem, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, relational conflict, and parenting struggles are frequently addressed. Trauma, sexual abuse, relational woundings are identified and resolution of their impact can be lessened. I have over 30 years experience in working with with individuals, couples, families, and the elderly. Group Therapy is another option available to those who want to understand their "story" and how it impacts their lives today.

I believe times of frustration, stress, and pain can lead to positive growth and that we can flourish in a compassionate, nonjudgemental environment, with gentle challenging from a trusted individual. In the context of the therapeutic environment, one can safely work through vulnerable emotions, fears, and dreams, and it is an honor to be able to facilitate this process. No one is an island; if our relationships aren't going well, it is likely we are not feeling our best. I would like to help you improve how you relate to and view yourself, others, and the world around you, identifying strengths and natural supports.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
