Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one: to equip and enable you to find light through the darkness. I work with men and women that have experienced depressions, anger, or past hurts that are causing their futures to look bleak.

The most common phrase I hear from clients is “not good enough.” Many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance, so we conceal aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable and present a fragmented version of ourselves to others. My task as a therapist is to create a safe environment in which you can be your whole self, without fear of judgment. I am committed not only to understanding and validating you, but also to helping you learn how to understand and validate yourself. I am a licensed psychologist providing virtual therapy to adult clients, and my specialties include men’s issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, early childhood trauma, shame, anger, depression, anxiety, and occupational concerns.

My professional experience includes being an embedded psychologist in a U.S. Special Ops squadron on Europe and Power 5 Conference NCAA university athletic departments. I have learned that most men benefit from cognitive processing and cognitive-behavioural approaches, with a touch of humanism. I have experience working with men who are confronting relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.

Are you struggling with life and want to gain back some control? Have life’s challenges gotten overwhelming for you? Are you ready for change, but don’t yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality? Many men often feel overwhelmed and anxious about what they’re feeling and how to make the changes necessary to live a rich, full, and meaningful life.

Utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I believe that change can happen and that the past doesn’t equal the future. You can begin to change your life by focusing on what’s in front of you. Let’s start making that change today!

“The world is changing at a rate faster than our ability to adapt to that change.” – Astro Teller

If this is true, no wonder you’re frustrated, exhausted, getting stuck in numbing and escaping behaviors, and wondering if this is all there is to modern life. The demands of life (relationships, marriage, parenting, career, personal health, mental health) are more than you can handle and you often are just trying to make it to the end of the day.

I specialize in working with men and helping them get relief from everyday demands, so they can go deep in their most important relationships.

You’ve likely done a lot of things “right”. From career to relationships, even past therapy – but does something feel off? Maybe you might feel disconnected, burned out, or like you’re performing a role rather than living your life. I specialize in working with men like you who are striving to reconcile their past, find meaning in their present, and create a more fulfilling future. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, life transitions, or substance issues, therapy can be a powerful space to get out of your head and reconnect with yourself.

Change is inevitable in life. My work as a counselor helps you make positive changes in your life and understand any barriers to making progress.
Oftentimes, a precursor to change is strife, difficulty, and confusion about what we truly want. Discerning what we desire – what fills us with vitality- is the work of psychotherapy. It can be difficult to know what we want if we’re stuck in habits, relationships, or patterns that no longer serve us or exist only to help us numb ourselves. Our minds crave novelty, but they also desire stability. But when stability turns to rigidity turns to stagnation – it becomes time for compassionate self-examination.
