Becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist stemmed from my personal journey, sparked by my own struggles to understand my identity as a man and a father. At a crucial point in my life, I wrestled with profound questions about my identity and how to be the best father I could be. To find clarity, I began my own therapeutic journey, seeking the guidance of a compassionate therapist to address my challenges. It was during this transformative period that I realized my true calling: to support others in their journey towards hope, growth, and profound transformation.
My extensive background includes working closely with families, children, and teenagers, equipping me with valuable knowledge and skills in various areas such as marital counseling, family dynamics, men's issues, spiritual and faith-related concerns, play therapy for children, and supporting adolescents.
My passion lies in assisting individuals and couples as they navigate the complexities of pain and loss. I am attuned to multicultural considerations, ensuring that your unique background is respected and understood. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to journey alongside you, offering guidance and support as you work towards your personal goals.

I will often use a combination of ACT, Solution Focused, and Existential therapies in my practice. We'll work on stopping the struggle with painful thoughts and feelings, and instead focus your energy on living the life that matters most to you. We'll explore the big questions about your life — meaning, freedom, and purpose — to help you live more intentionally and authentically.
