I specialize in child trauma treatment, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, sports performance and couple's therapy.
I use 16+ years of experience to connect with your struggle, build a foundation of skills, then help you make the changes that will be sustainable. My time as a husband, father, college soccer coach, and brief drifter (LOL) allows me to empathize with many situations, difficulties and strengths.

I help adults and children navigate anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and burnout.
I work with thoughtful people who often feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are caregivers, parents, helpers, and deep thinkers who carry more than they let on. They come to therapy seeking relief, clarity, stronger relationships, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
I provide a warm, affirming, and collaborative space where you can feel seen, supported, and understood. Together, we explore your story, build practical skills, increase resilience, break free from old patterns, and create a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned with your values.

We all want to be happy. We may feel stuck or face challenges. Getting support from someone on the outside, in the counseling or psychology field, can help you gain a new perspective. You can learn to make better choices, feel less anxious and feel more optimistic; find peace in the day-to-day. I strive to help individuals live up to their full potential by overcoming life obstacles. With sincere interest and a creative approach, I help people by focusing not only on the individual, but also the social and cultural dynamics that influence their well being.
