About My Clients
I work with adults, couples, and families who feel stuck in recurring patterns and are ready to make meaningful changes. Many of my clients struggle with relationship conflict, communication difficulties, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, resentment, stress, or a loss of direction. Whether you're facing a specific problem or seeking greater fulfillment, I provide practical support and guidance tailored to your goals.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree and experience working with individuals, couples, and families in outpatient settings. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Family Systems, and Person-Centered Therapy to help clients develop insight while creating practical solutions. I believe therapy should be both supportive and productive. Together, we will identify obstacles, clarify goals, and develop strategies that promote meaningful change. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct when appropriate, helping clients build stronger relationships, improve emotional well-being, increase confidence, and navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and purpose.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, staying active, and making the most of the outdoors. I have a passion for kayaking, fishing, and soccer, all of which provide opportunities for adventure, personal growth, and connection. My faith also plays an important role in my life and influences my commitment to treating others with compassion, respect, and dignity. I believe people are remarkably resilient and capable of meaningful change when provided with the right support, encouragement, and tools. I value authenticity, personal responsibility, strong relationships, and continual growth. These values shape both my personal life and my work as a therapist, where I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel understood, challenged, and empowered to move toward their goals.
