Many people are unsure how to help their family members or friends that are struggling with mental health or substance use, or where to seek help for themselves. I have spent the last 3 years working in substance use and mental health treatment and have had the privilege of meeting and working with adolescents, young adults, and adults in individual, group, and family settings.

Being a parent is a wonderful experience, but comes with many challenges (not all fun). Whether it is bonding with a new baby, guilt, sleep deprivation, or even balancing family life and work throughout the child’s life, being a dad can is a humbling role. It tests your ability to be your best self. However you look at it, it is normal and okay to have self-doubt and ask for help. Please reach out where needed and do not suffer in silence.

When working with clients, I strive to tailor each session to meet my clients where they are, and serve their needs as best suited for them.

I specialize in treating pelvic floor dysfunctions.

In early life, we memorize the safest passages through difficult terrain and later repeat the same emotional trails throughout our lifespans. It's no wonder that as adults, it can seem that while time passes and the outer world changes, parts of the inner self seem stuck in the past. For all the growth and development that we achieve, our yearnings, unsatiated desires, wounds, or constricting patterns of avoidance or withdrawal may seem unchanged.

I work against the position that views human challenges through a narrow lens bound by diagnosis and pathology. In family therapy, I work with adolescents and their caregivers who are impacted by protracted conflict and disconnection. I work with couples who are caught in patterns of conflict, avoidance, and misunderstanding. Individual therapy places emphasis on the security and safety of the therapeutic relationship in order to create opportunities for change.
