I believe that creating a comfortable environment and building good rapport is key for having a positive counseling experience. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples who want help with emotional and behavioral issues. I have felt privileged to work with so many different people in a variety of settings, including office settings, schools, residential facilities, in-home settings, and hospitals.

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from all walks of life. I provide support to those who are experiencing a wide range of mental health struggles and life concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, attachment issues, and those facing difficult life transitions.

Whatever challenges bring you here, you're probably searching for some type of relief, understanding, or solution. I applaud your courage and effort, and now let's make what you're seeking happen! I have spent years teaching and supervising future therapists, so I feel comfortable and competent with a range of perspectives, situations, and issues that occur in therapy. If this your first experience, I'll demystify the process early, and whether this is new or you happen to be a seasoned clinician yourself, our shared environment will be one of respect, collaboration and warmth, and if appropriate, spiced with a bit of humor as well.

While counseling may not be for everyone, for or every issue, I have watched counseling transform so many lives over the past several years. Counseling can be a powerful resource, and if you've been questioning or playing around with the idea of counseling, then count this as a sign to go ahead and sign up, at least for a consultation.

People often struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, and trauma-related issues. Every client will be warmly welcomed into my office, and together we will collaborate to meet goals to help you be the best version of you. To meet these goals, we will use tools from multiple evidence-based interventions.

Every morning you feel "I can’t get out of bed”. It seems like too much right now. You peel yourself out of bed anyway, because you know you have to get going. You have to do all the “things” to make the world function for the humans in your life, but some days it feels like too much. You think this shouldn’t be this hard. I should know what to do and yet you still don’t make any change. You turn on the podcasts and the audiobooks, but no matter how many you listen to you just cannot get yourself to make lasting change. If you could just talk this out maybe it would have to feel so alone.

I help clients overcome challenges and achieve their goals using therapeutic methods that match their needs, strengths and values. I’ve helped clients from varied backgrounds deal with depression, anxiety, substance issues and the negative impact of recent and past trauma. I also help clients manage stress, life transitions and difficult decisions. I work with clients of all genders, sexual orientations and spiritual outlooks. My personal experience as a husband and father, along with my prior career in business, helps many male clients feel welcome and understood, even if they are wary about entering therapy.

If you live life with OCD, you know it's not nearly as cute as being a "tidy" or "particular" about certain organizational systems in your life; I often describe OCD as an "emotional hallucination" in which you may logically be relatively certain about something, but everything in you is telling you to ruminate, check twice (or a dozen times), repeat an action, or engage in mental compulsions such as reassurance seeking. You may be plagued with unwanted violent images, thoughts of uncertainty, or fears that you will act in a way outside of your character. This is living with OCD.

Life can be overwhelming due to multiple reasons that may leave you feeling that there is no clear path. You may have considered therapy or wondered if it would be helpful to you. You may have talked yourself out of reaching out for help before, however, searching for a therapist is a step forward. Everyone deserves a safe space where you can speak with someone who is objective. I enjoy providing such a space to individuals. I will listen and work with you to help identify goals, barriers, and practical solutions. Every individual is exactly that, an individual, and has their own story and circumstances.

I believe that everyone comes to a time in life when they face their own personal “truth in the room”. This can be as simple as private self-reflection or as complicated as trying to save a relationship or marriage. Maybe you have a child who is out of control or a sibling who suffers from substance abuse. Whatever brings you to therapy, know that it is my goal to partner with you as you work toward personal growth and wellness. Strong individuals are able to have strong relationships and healthy lives with meaning and purpose. My ideal client is one who is ready to explore "who they are and to do it on purpose".

I believe that everyone needs a non-judgmental, trusting, and authentic individual to help facilitate growth and I feel honored to be a companion in someone’s journey towards growth, self-love, and increasing self-confidence. For each of my clients I want to offer them a safe space to share personal feelings, memories, thoughts, and other vulnerabilities to the extent they are willing to share. My goal is to strive to understand the unique experiences of each person and work collaboratively to create and work towards goals that best fit each person’s individual needs.

My focus in counseling is to help people find what barriers they have preventing them from living the life they hope for. Everyone has their own unique situations and concerns they are facing, and once we identify these, we can work together to find better ways for you to cope and move forward from the sources of pain and stress. Whether it is addiction, harmful eating habits, mental health concerns, or issues related to sexuality and gender identity, my goal is to create a safe space where you can address any life issues or concerns without judgement and for us to work together on your journey towards healing.

Many people come to therapists seeking someone to "fix" their problems, "relieve" their stressors or "heal" their personal pain and traumas. Our purpose is to work with you to awaken the strength already residing inside of you, and to make you conscious of it, so that you may be your own cure.

Things in our world can change very rapidly, leaving us feeling lost and broken. Sometimes things pile up over time and become too heavy to carry. It can be difficult to manage all of this alone but also frightening to ask for help. I have approximately 18 years of experience working with those who struggle with long-term issues and those who have had a sudden life change and are experiencing new and unexpected stressors. I exclusively offer telehealth services to provide flexible scheduling and a feeling of security and safety as you walk your path to healing and change from the comfort of your own environment.

I believe all people deserve to experience unconditional positive regard; the acceptance of who you are regardless of what you say or do. You are unique, and I like to embrace that uniqueness and show you how to use it as your own personal superpower. Although we cannot avoid loss, pain, disappointment, and trauma, I find that when people connect with others they are inherently strengthened. There is power in telling your story in safe spaces.
