My ideal clients are teens and adult men who are ready to do real work — not just talk about their problems, but understand the root of them. Many of the men I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or struggles they've never felt safe enough to name out loud. My goal is to help every client build the insight and support system they need to thrive — in and out of the counseling room.

I believe in the human spirit and our capacity to make positive changes in all aspects of our lives, even in the face of adversity.
