I am able to offer insight into issues surrounding substance use disorders, relapse prevention, PTSD, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, religious abuse/shame, relationship issues, and everyday life stressors.
Finding someone you can trust to talk to is tough.

My goal & passion is to value all walks of life & experiences! I know it can be difficult to seek help, the idea of counseling can freak some people out. However, if you're looking here, you're halfway there. The impact of trauma, stigma toward mental health, addictions, the LGBTQ+ community, infidelity can reinforce dysfunctional coping, self-loathing and sometimes self-harm. It can keep people stuck. I understand this on a personal and professional level. Therapy's not easy and not the most ideal at times, but can help if you team up with someone who will earn your trust. I want to help those who want and need support

Most men don't seek help until things have gotten bad enough that they can't ignore it anymore — whether that's addiction, a marriage on the edge, or a life that looks successful on the outside but feels empty on the inside. As a former Division I athlete and licensed counselor with over a decade of experience, I work specifically with men who are ready to do the hard work of getting their lives back.
My approach is grounded in both evidence-based clinical practice and a personal faith that informs how I see people — as whole persons with depth, purpose, and the capacity to change.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, compulsive behaviors, or relationship conflict, and often feel frustrated with how they react under stress. Some feel overwhelmed by their emotions, disconnected from others, or caught in habits they know aren’t helping. My clients want more control, clearer thinking, and healthier ways to handle life so they can feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves again.

Therapy can be intimidating, scary and hard. Therapy is a scheduled time of being intentional with yourself.. All of us at some time face struggles and all desire connection. Unfortunately and all too often, sometimes the connections we find can leave us more empty, isolated, feeling broken and alone. As a therapist, connecting with people who are struggling and letting them know they aren't alone in their struggle is vital. Some conversations are harder than others and each is meaningful. I work with clients to bring their body into the conversation as well.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
