Welcome!  Starting therapy is a brave step, and I am here to support you every step of the way!  Whether you are navigating life’s challenges, seeking clarity or simply need a safe space to feel heard, my goal is to facilitate your journey to healing by empowering you to gain insight, develop coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in your life. 

As a dually licensed Psychological Examiner and Counselor with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, and navigate the complexities of life. 

My therapeutic approach is holistic, empathetic and client centered, and I always strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions.  I hold a Certification in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and draw from a variety of additional therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Psychology, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, tailoring methods to fit the unique needs of each client.

I enjoy working with a diverse client population, including children (10+), teens, adults, couples and families.  I specialize in providing support for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, stressful events, and overall personal growth. 

I am a husband and father to three beautiful children.  When I’m not in the office, you will find me enjoying some family time or spending time outside hiking, swimming, or camping. 

I believe everyone has the potential for growth and healing and look forward to supporting you on your journey!
