There is no shortage of great therapists in the Greater Salt Lake City area. I believe that every therapist has something about them that sets them apart from their colleagues and gives them their own unique abilities. In my case, that would be my use of levity during the therapeutic process. Clients who find the most success with me and my approach are those who are willing and ready to address serious life challenges and experiences, while occasionally sharing a chuckle with me along the way. While my approach may not be for every client, it might be for you. If so, I'm your guy. Feel free to schedule a consultation with me.

You have had a unique combination of personal experiences that have shaped the manner in which you view yourself, other people, and the world as a whole. I want to join you in these experiences and understand how you have arrived at your personal beliefs. The work you hope to accomplish with me will then begin, and will be directed by you, at your own pace.

I work with individuals who seek guidance and relief from life's struggles, and who seek a safe place to explore themselves and their place in the world. I am available on Saturdays. I have over nine years of therapy experience, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally. I'm often referred to by my clients, friends, and family as a "gentle giant." I'm here to help.

I typically begin work with new clients from a primarily CBT-informed perspective. This has historically proven most effective in eliciting key challenges and concerns that will be processed and explored during the therapeutic process. Once those items have been uncovered and identified, I have found that existential humanism is effective at developing and implementing more helpful beliefs.
