I offer individual counseling to help school-age children build coping skills and emotional resilience.
Being a parent today is tougher than ever. With changing dynamics, overwhelming responsibilities, and the constant pressure of modern life, it’s no wonder many families feel out of sync. If you’re feeling like you’re on autopilot, you’re not alone. I’m a social worker with 14 years of experience working with children and families, and I can relate to these challenges not only from my professional background but also as a parent myself. I understand the unique struggles you face, from your child's relationship with technology to the evolving role of friendships in their lives.

Down to earth and experienced therapist who does his best to help in a meaningful and relatable way. My aim is that by the time we end our first session, you feel a little bit more hopeful and that in time, life starts to make a little more sense. Most of the people who come through my doors struggle with all kinds of issues—relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, addiction and trauma—and my job is not to solve your problems, but to walk with you through these difficult bumps in the road so you don’t have to walk it alone. I’ve also come to find that a lot of farmers are dropping in… as not many therapists are farmers too.
