Becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist stemmed from my personal journey, sparked by my own struggles to understand my identity as a man and a father. At a crucial point in my life, I wrestled with profound questions about my identity and how to be the best father I could be. To find clarity, I began my own therapeutic journey, seeking the guidance of a compassionate therapist to address my challenges. It was during this transformative period that I realized my true calling: to support others in their journey towards hope, growth, and profound transformation.

I have been working with children and their families for over 20 years, licensed eight years. I enjoy working with children of all ages; that is children ages 12-18 and anyone else who has had difficulty in their childhoods and is having trouble in their relationships today and anyone else which insurance refers. Basically You talk, I listen, Insurance pays ( well most of the time they do!!) I have a GREAT sense of humor and use it often. I AM NOT TAKING ANY NEW CLIENT AT THIS TIME

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but more importantly, I am a safe space, an advocate, a collaborator, and a sounding board. I specialize in trauma/intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, identity incongruency, life stage/cycle challenges, and general feelings of “stuckness.” I use different theoretical interventions to align with your therapeutic goals, however I believe that CHANGE happens when we tap into YOUR inner strengths and intrinsic courage. It is my hope that together we can find a safe space to heal, accept ourselves for what we are, dream, and thrive.

Relationships can be challenging and complex. I offer individual and couples therapy from a relational context. The approach to individual therapy I use is unique in that I don't just treat you, the individual; I also focus on the relational dynamics at play in your home, workplace, and personal life that contribute to your mental health concerns and your emotional wellbeing. In couples therapy I focus on the relationship itself with benefits to the individuals involved ensuing rather than being pursued. Satisfying relationships are not just about meeting each others needs, but are about meeting the relational needs that exist between you.

Life presents challenges to us all the time, some are expected while some catch us off guard. During some of these times we find that we need a helping hand in reclaiming our life from certain obstacles. I work directly with individuals, families, and couples struggling with an array of problems. Areas of specialty include anxiety, eating disorders, grief and loss, self-esteem, and relational issues between families and couples. An expert in the field of addiction, I have extensive experience working with various types of addiction including drugs, alcohol, sex, relationships,shopping, gaming, gambling, food (anorexia/bulimia), hoarding etc.

College, both undergraduate and graduate, is a time of discovery, exploration, learning, and making new friends and mentors. It can also be a time of personal and emotional confusion, upheaval, feeling disconnected from others, or maybe it’s just not quite the experience we hoped for. Undoubtedly, college is a critical time in our lives and can impact our sense of who we are for years.

Congratulations on making the decision to seek therapy – it's a brave and important step towards improving your life. We all have moments when things just don't seem right, and the weight of our struggles can become too much to bear alone. But the great news is that you don't have to face these challenges on your own. Today, you're choosing to address those deeper issues that you might have been putting off for too long. It's like opening the door to a room in your heart that you've kept locked away. It's time to let some light in and start the process of healing and growth. Your journey towards a better life begins here.

You've got big dreams, yet self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy are stopping you from achieving the success and confidence you crave. It’s as though there’s an invisible weight dragging behind you, making it hard to move forward. You see other people leading purpose-driven lives, rich in financial, social, and relational fulfillment. And you so desperately want that, too. But every time you’re going to make a change or take a chance, that voice in your head pops up. “Don’t try it, what if you get rejected” it assures you. “You’re not enough.” So, you stay hidden in place, growing more helpless and hopeless each day.
