About My Clients

Whether you're a parent, partner, or professional, the constant demands can leave you feeling drained and disconnected. Even when things seem to be going well, you might feel like something's missing. Since 2013, I've helped individuals, couples, and families navigate these challenges. I can help you address anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, and feelings of being stuck. If past therapy experiences haven't met your needs, I offer a fresh perspective.

My Background and Approach

My 13 years as a counselor has taught me that the best counseling model is the one that is directed by you and your specific needs. To help you accomplish this I have trained in variety of methods to be ready to assist you such as: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Solution focused brief therapy , family systems, certified cognitive behavioral therapy, Biblical counseling, and more.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a husband and father of five, I deeply understand the joys and challenges of family life. My journey to becoming a counselor was a personal one, born from a desire to help others navigate life's complexities. I also have a deep rooted passion for helping veterans as many of my friends have served and I started my counseling profession helping active duty and veterans work through trauma related to their deployments as well as helping them transition back into civilian life.
