I thrive to create a space that is safe and nonjudgmental for clients as they discover their genuine selves and create goals for being present with their loved ones. Registered as a board-certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), I believe that creativity and art-making help to communicate, explore, and connect within one’s self and with their environment. I also specialized in individuals who have experienced trauma, including but not limited to interpersonal trauma, significant losses, and PTSD. Remote therapy only.

Maybe you’re struggling with relationship conflict or communication issues. Maybe you’re stressed, anxious, wanting more connection, or feeling stuck with your career. I can help you learn how to confidently navigate your emotions and how your past experiences impact you today.

I can help because I’ve struggled with these things too. Years ago a painful breakup motivated me to go to therapy, which helped so much that I became a therapist. We’ll figure out together how to help you find relief, get unstuck, and create the life, career, or relationship you really want.

I offer individual therapy, men’s groups, and men’s retreats, as well as the email newsletter Make Men Emotional Again.

I prioritize creating a secure and welcoming space for clients to express their thoughts, while helping them navigate complex thought processes through co-exploration and self-regulation techniques. My experience as a Division I student-athlete has influenced my emphasis on the mental health of athletes across all performance levels. Athletes frequently face substantial pressure to perform, both in competitive settings and life in general, which often leads to their mental health needs being unaddressed. My professional experience extends to areas including anxiety, oppression, trauma, grief, social skills, developmental concerns, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and depression.
