As a current career firefighter, I understand the door to the counseling office can be scarrier than the door leading to a dwelling fire.

It is my goal to walk with you on your journey to wellness, allowing you to lead at your own pace, hoping to point out items in your blind spots along the way. My ideal clients are motivated and an active participant in their healing process.

I offer a very personalized approach to counseling. I believe in the power of a person's story and how that story has brought them to where they are at presently. I work from an integrated person-centered approach. One size/technique does NOT fit all in counseling. Moreover, I'm a believer in the therapeutic relationship being the key ingredient to effective therapy. I work with issues such as: grief, depression, anxiety, chronic-pain, panic, school issues and much more. Counseling is not the easy way through a life concern; it takes work and commitment. I promise to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration.

I specialize in working with men and male teens who feel frustrated, worried or dissatisfied in their life. The men I work with are commonly navigating issues such as stressful careers, relationships, fatherhood, life adjustments, medical complications, trauma, grief, anger, anxiety, and depression. They want to be more present in their lives or more confident in their work and are looking for someone to partner with to achieve this. I use a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help men regain control and peace in their lives.

Most people seek psychotherapy because they have a persistent feeling that something isn't right or isn't the way they want it to be.

Then we will figure out what your needs are and how best to meet them. We will take a practical approach that will make sense to you. The goal is to help you find what you want.
