I am influenced by psychodynamic and depth psychotherapy.
I work with individuals and couples 18 and up across the lifespan. I hold space for individuals who have experienced non-ordinary states of consciousness and are navigating integrating these transpersonal states of awareness. I work with couples using a relational approach that restores safety and connection as a foundation for working through issues.

My training consists of primarily working with individuals using psychodynamic psychotherapy (revealing the unconscious), attachment theory (the dynamics of long-term relationships), and object-relations models (how relationships are affected by early experiences).
I work with people who want to move from emotional pain, conflict or confusion toward more happiness, peace and passion in their life, work, and relationships. Together, we'll learn to observe repeating life patterns and examine how the past might be influencing your present and future. Our work together can also help you discover and strengthen the creative, emotional, and intuitive resources that can lead you toward more passionate, fulfilling life.

I am a Christian counselor/coach and I am passionate about helping men experience freedom from compulsive behaviors and, as a result, a deeper connection with God, themselves, and others. I specialize in helping men struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors like pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, work, video games, relationships, etc. After more than 20 years of experience, I have found that true lasting healing does not happen in isolation. Weekly recovery groups provide the accountability, honesty, and brotherhood required for lasting transformation. That is why I now fully focus on the power of group work.

We often find ourselves repeating patterns in our thoughts and our ways of relating that keep us stuck and unable to move forward in life, preventing us from fully experiencing all that we would like. Past relationships and early experiences impact our current perceptions of our self, others, and the world. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain insight and understanding, as well as a space to explore and work through these patterns and places in life in the hope of gaining a greater sense of freedom and aliveness.

Have you found yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed and managing racing thoughts or anxiety? You pretend like everything is fine, hiding behind work, school or a busy schedule; attempting to balance it all but still feeling the struggle. Maybe you're up at night with trying to get your mind to just be quiet, experiencing conflict in your relationship and or worrying about your kids. We all struggle at some point in life; because we're human and being alive can be hard. Therapy is not "fixing" the broken bits, it’s about helping you come home to yourself with trust, clarity and grace. You deserve to enjoy your life, marriage
