I am in-network for BCBS, United Health Care, Medcost, Cigna, Abetter, and Aetma.
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational stress, often at times when things feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to manage alone.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in respect for your unique experiences, values, and goals. I don’t see my role as “fixing” problems, but rather walking alongside you, helping you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns while developing tools that support meaningful and lasting change.

I am so glad that you stopped by and took the time to read about me and explore the possibility of working together.Getting started is always the hardest part of any road to change. Deciding who you are going to trust with your information is also an important part of your new beginnings. I want to be supportive of your goals and work together in discovering how you can reach and surpass them. In my time away from being a therapist, the most important thing to me is my family - my wife and three young children - and spending as much of my time with them that I can. I enjoy hiking, fishing, cooking and reading when I have the time.

Many of my clients come to me when they feel stuck in their relationships, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or weighed down by stress and self-doubt. Some are reeling from conflict or betrayal in their marriage, while others feel like they’ve lost their sense of direction at work or at home.
In our sessions, we slow things down enough to see the patterns that are keeping them stuck and the emotions that are often hidden beneath the surface. From there, I help clients begin to make sense of their experience and find new ways of showing up with more clarity and connection.

Feeling isolated? Unsure how to manage demands on you? Struggling with decisions? Can't share feelings because you fear being misunderstood? Feeling overwhelmed? I work with adults dealing with issues including excessive worry, role changes, indecision, unhappiness, interpersonal differences to unexpected life challenges. Psychotherapy helps to gain a better understanding of self and others as well as recognize triggers affecting positive growth and change. You never endure this "journey" alone. Together, we explore beliefs, unresolved issues, feelings, and behaviors to develop healthy coping skills and life choices.
