Who am I? I've been married for 20+ years. My wife and I have a teenage son. I'm personable, friendly and like to laugh. I talk and ask questions. I won't sit silently and wait for you to talk.

We explore identity development, fear, culture, behavioral health and family conflict. My approach is compassionate, warm, honest and structured.

Struggling to show up physically, emotionally, and socially at school or work? Overwhelmed with the thought that things may never get better? Or with the thought, "I'm better off alone?" Many have been here and have had similar thoughts including me. But if my 25+ years of working with youth, young adults, and families have taught me anything, it’s the ​incredible ​ability of a healing connection to create change, even when things are looking bleak. ​No matter where you find yourself, ​positive change is possible​.​ It’s my belief that honesty, transparency and open conversation can pave the way to a better tomorrow.

I especially enjoy integrating the faith into sessions, while utilizing evidenced based practices and counseling techniques. I work with individuals of all faith backgrounds, though my speciality is working with the Catholic & Christian population.

Hello! My theoretical orientation draws from integrative and humanistic-existential psychology, meaning I believe in providing well rounded care that emphasizes the inherent value of being human.

Whether this means addressing childhood trauma or current and brief stressors, my goal is to assist a client in cultivating a greater self-understanding and acceptance of who they are in God.

In-person therapy is where it’s at! Have you tried in-person therapy? If yes, then you know the power it can have to help. If no, then I urge you to reach out and schedule - with me or another therapist with an office. Let isolation be over. Being private with things is good, as far as it goes but doesn’t do much to move us out of endless loops or confusing despair. I have no agenda for you but to be well. What can I do to help?
