I believe the most meaningful way to connect is through listening. Each person has a unique and interesting story that should be heard. Perhaps the greatest support we can offer is our undivided attention. I consider it a privilege to provide a safe space where people discover new aspects of themselves.
Couples Counseling, Addiction, and Men’s Issues are my specialty.

I provide individual and group therapy for men in their 20s-50s who have done therapy before and are looking to go deeper. As an individual therapist, I like to be actively involved and give feedback about what I’m noticing in the here-and-now. This gives us a portal into understanding how you get tripped up and where you can lean into a fuller, deeper way of living. My men’s groups are long-term process groups that primarily focus on relationships between members. Group is all about practicing direct, authentic contact and exploring your blocks to getting closer with others.

My integrative approach to therapy is tailored to your unique and specific needs. This therapeutic style helps you explore core beliefs about yourself and facilitates growth towards inner strength and resilience.

I have more than 20 years experience working with those who have experienced trauma, depression and anxiety. I use a combination of evidence-based therapies which include: cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and ego state therapy. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey!

I specialize in men’s therapy to improve body, mind, and soul by utilizing a holistic approach with an emphasis on personal values. My goal is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms, giving men an opportunity to re-examine a strength narrative through adaptive coping strategies to regulate emotions and achieve balance.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or grief, it can feel exhausting to navigate it on your own. You may want therapy that is clear, organized, and focused—a process where you know what you’re working on, why it matters, and how each session supports your goals.
I help men who prefer a structured, concrete approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based modalities, practical skill-building, and holistic mind-body strategies so you can understand patterns, create change, and feel more grounded and emotionally regulated in daily life.
Whether you’re processing old wounds, managing current stressors, or rebuilding after loss, we work at a pace that feels safe and steady—always with clarity, compassion, and respect.

Therapy with me is a mix of honest reflection and practical tools. It’s a space where you can drop the pressure to have it all together and get real about what’s working – and what’s not. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that are keeping you stuck and build clear, effective strategies to help you move forward with purpose.
I help professional men reduce stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with purpose in work and life. My approach blends insight and action – so you don’t just talk about change, you start living it. You don’t have to keep going in circles. Schedule a free consultation today, and let’s get to work.

Video game counseling is a novel approach that uses video games in counseling sessions to help closed-off clients express themselves. Video game counseling is a more immersive, artistic, and creative medium for clients to build skills and process their difficulties. I also help gamers stuck in their life to gain control over their video game habits and fulfill their other life ambitions.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, lack of self-worth, or self-doubt, I help people uncover the root causes of their issues and find a way out.
As a therapist, I actively participate in therapy conversations, providing feedback, teaching you skills, and helping you work through problems or unhealthy patterns. I balance being supportive with also challenging my clients in ways that help them grow.

Therapy with me is a co-created process – grounded in down-to earth discussion, respect, humor, gentle challenging, deep understanding, and the belief that meaningful change comes from a combination of a strong therapeutic relationship, insight, awareness, and learning the tools and coping skills to create meaningful change and action.
As a father, I have a personal interest in supporting new and expecting dads, supporting them to navigate the emotional complexities of parenthood, like struggling with a new identity as a father, the overwhelming responsibilities to your child, partner, and career, and the feelings of confusion, irritability, stress, and depression.

The decision to seek therapy is not easy. It means we have to confront the truth that we are struggling in some facet of our life and need help finding resolution. I specialize in brain-body based therapies, such as EMDR and Brainspotting, which tap into the source of our emotional wounds located in the body. These healing modalities are highly effective in helping identify and resolve the roots of one’s distress, presenting as anxiety, depression, stress or trauma(s) that are negatively impacting your life and overall wellbeing.
