Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking the hardest and most important step in your mental health journey - finding a therapist that is right for YOU!

I can help you along that journey!

Are you an adult struggling to be at your best at home, work, and w/ friends? Can you tell something's off but feel stuck or can’t put your finger on it? Maybe it’s stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or using substances to self-medicate? Let me guess - you want to talk about it but don’t know where to turn and don't want to be judged? You're not alone. Many adults try “white-knuckling” it & play tug-a-war w/ themselves until they burn out. Look no further. I am here for you. As a man, father, & person who stutters, I bring a unique and sensitive perspective to learn about you, what makes you tick, and your goals.

Is your child stressful? Do they get anxious more than their friends? Is your child or teen down & unmotivated? Is your family adjusting to adoption or foster care, or maybe a recent death or divorce in the family? Are you a young adult who isn't sure about what next steps are or maybe life is just really hard? If any part of these questions resonated with you, please reach out. Clients describe me as down to earth, easy to talk to, works well in crisis situations, & is non-judgmental. In my free time you can find me by Lake Michigan with a cup of coffee, on a walk with my family, finding new houseplants, or gardening outside.
