About My Clients

Imagine your life transformed overnight. You're confident, strong, not so hard on yourself. You have close, satisfying relationships. You know your purpose and direction. You've changed unhelpful patterns and aligned your behaviors with your values. You feel powerful and connected to others. Wouldn't that be great? Change doesn’t happen overnight, but these are realistic and attainable goals. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use Disorders and Compulsive Gambling.

My Background and Approach

I have over 15 years of counseling experience. I help clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, two highly effective, modern, evidence-based practices. Together we identify their goals, get energized, and make an effective plan. Often, the plan includes learning new ways to manage emotions and communicate effectively.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I delight in building relationships with people who operate under the assumption that others will not love or accept them. Therapy can help rewrite unhelpful rules for living that people have learned from their experiences in the world. In my free time, I love sports and tolerate exercise. Most of my time goes towards trying to be the best dad and husband I can be.
