If you’re feeling overwhelmed by addiction, anxiety, depression, or other life challenges, you don’t have to carry it alone. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move through adversity with more clarity, confidence, and hope. I want clients to feel supported, respected, and empowered as they work toward healthier patterns and a more fulfilling life.
Helping others has been my life’s purpose for more than 30 years, and I truly love this work. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps change unhelpful thought patterns, while staying grounded in a person-centered approach. I’m also a happily married grandfathe who loves people, reading, and jazz music.
You can expect warmth, honesty, and validation in our work together. I’ve supported clients facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges, and I aim to help you feel stronger, more hopeful, and better equipped for daily life. If you’d like to connect, you can book a free 15-minute consultation through my website.
