I feel that my role as a therapist is to facilitate growth and change by assisting my clients in realizing and exploring the primary concerns in their lives. My job is to help them get "unstuck," so that they can choose other ways to live. I offer tools that can help them communicate better, establish necessary and healthy boundaries, manage anger and fear healthily, and eliminate self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Most importantly, I offer assistance in improving the self, which can enrich and increase the joy in my client's lives.

I believe that therapy is an important tool for creating an intentional space to explore how we exist in the world and to practice communicating our emotions and needs. As a relational and trauma informed therapist, I believe that the relationship between a client and therapist is the foundation of healing and growing. In this way, comfort and trust are key to providing a space to freely set intention and dig into meaningful work to pave a path towards growth. A core belief of my practice is that your feelings and self awareness carry a great deal of wisdom about what you need in order to heal and grow.

I’m an easy-going, straightforward therapist with over a decade of counseling experience and a strong commitment to men’s mental health. I work with men who are dealing with stress, identity, relationships, purpose, and major life transitions—often when they feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected.

I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy. My training and clinical experience has allowed me to work with both athletes and non-athletes from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

You may appear capable on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on edge. Many of the people I work with struggle with overthinking, panic, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and the pressure to hold everything together. They are often thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware individuals who want more than just coping skills — they want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to themselves. Together we work toward greater nervous system regulation, self-trust, clarity, and emotional steadiness.

I provide a calm, steady space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without pressure or judgment. My goal is for you to feel safe enough to be honest about what’s really going on, even the parts that are hard to put into words. I’ve had a variety of life experiences that allow me to connect with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life, and I approach each person with genuine curiosity and respect for their story. As a wounded combat veteran, I also have a personal understanding of experiences that many veterans carry, and I’m able to meet them in a way that feels real and grounded.

Sometimes our lives take an unexpected turn-a loved one dies, we lose our job, our marriage ends, our parents' health declines-and suddenly we aren't sure where we're going, or what to do next. You don't have to face these things alone. In my counseling career, I have helped many people get through the hard things that come with difficult life events: sadness, anger, guilt, family conflict, uncontrollable worry, or just feeling stuck.

You may be dealing with intrusive thoughts, compulsive patterns, ADHD symptoms that don't fully make sense, intense sound sensitivity, or anxiety and perfectionism that keep pulling you off course. You may also be struggling with executive functions, procrastination, and frequently feeling overwhelmed, which makes it challenging to live according to your goals and values. Sometimes the hardest part is not just the symptoms themselves — it is not having a clear explanation for what is actually going on, especially if previous therapy or past evaluations have not given you real answers or meaningful progress.
