Your past is invading your present. Your emotions overwhelm you at times. Many of your relationships are unfulfilling - or outright painful. Your self-esteem is low to non-existent, and you often feel you aren’t good enough. Celebrating your successes is hard for you because you feel like you don’t deserve them. Your inner critic is your constant companion. And the worst part is: overcoming these obstacles seems like a huge mountain to climb. You don’t know where or who to go to for help. We all need connection more than ever right now. I’d love to help!

Accepting Washington and California Telehealth Clients. Seeking help is not easy! But you've already taken the first step right here. My passion is to help individuals process the things that are causing them pain, distress, sadness, and/or anxiety. To help battle those feelings of being stuck, lost or empty. To address the negative thoughts/feelings that are not allowing you to live the life you want. To help you reconnect with the things in life that bring you true happiness. You don't have to do it alone! Some of us just need a little extra help; someone to talk to, someone to vent to, someone that listens without judgement.

I believe we all have a story of life worth telling. All of us experience hills and valleys across our lives, some more high and deep than others. No person is an island; we were made to partake in this life together, through good times and challenging times. We need companions who can witness our pain, fears, joy, revelations, confusion, freedom, and ambivalence. We need people around us who have walked through some dark tunnels and come out the other side, now able to say with assurance, “There is an end. You’ll make it through, and I will walk with you as you find your way.”

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington and have been practicing since 2011. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and loss, relationship issues, parenting support, learning difficulties, and developmental disabilities. I have specialized training and experience working with children, teens, and families. In session I use an eclectic approach to therapy that is tailored to the needs of the individual client or family system in my office. I generally combine Attachment and Client-Centered Theory in practice and I frequently use CBT and EMDR in session.

In these days of social polarization and cultural upheaval, it is sometimes hard to find our place as individuals or as husbands and fathers in the world. Are you struggling with your role as a committed, loving husband? Your marriage lacks intimacy, and it seems like every discussion ends in conflict and hurt. Or your only role model was absent and none of the men around you seem to have the same struggles. As a father, you find yourself being harsh or shaming your children and then regretting it but unable to find a better way? Maybe you feel isolated and alone, easing the pain by acting out in harmful ways.

Reflecting on my own counseling practice, I have discovered the overwhelming strength and healing power of human connectedness which is an essential cornerstone of my therapeutic counseling relationships. Life is a journey filled with both opportunities and challenges. When daily life and/or life transitions seem too overwhelming, the guidance and support provided from a trusted professional who is empathetic and objective can be informative, empowering, and restorative. I use cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic interventions to help clients discover how conscious and unconscious thoughts impact emotions and behaviors. In addition, I draw from a variety of counseling theories to meet each client's individual needs.

I believe that something powerful happens when we are seen, heard, and equipped with dignity and support. Counseling is a transformative process that can promote healing, hope, and change as we navigate the challenges that come with being human. I approach therapy through a person-centered, narrative, and family-systems framework. This means that the therapeutic process is centered around your story, your context, and your intersecting identities. I also prioritize trauma-informed care and utilize EMDR to help clients move from feeling stuck in the past to safe and empowered in the present.

Parenting is the hardest job. You've dong everything you can think of to support your kids. And still they struggle. You’re doing whatever you can think of. You’ve sat with teachers, talked with doctors, argued long into the night. Nothing has helped. You’re to the point where you just want to quit. And you feel terrible about it. I get it. I've been there. Your temper is short, you feel grouchy all the time, and time spent at the office feels like a vacation. This was not in the job description.

I am excited to have recently moved my practice from Portland to Vancouver, WA and am happy to provide care to clients who live in Washington,Oregon and California. I am able to teach people skills that will transform their relationships. I work with couples and families who really want to make changes in the way they relate to one another, helping them to understand that conflict is normal and natural. I also enjoy helping people who have been traumatized. My seven years at the VA Outpatient Clinic has well prepared me to work with those who have been traumatized, are depressed or are grieving.

People come to me usually for one of two reasons: (1) things are going well but they want to grow and evolve, (2) things are hard because of a past traumatic experience or a current situation, and healing and change is needed. Symptoms often include anxiety, depression, issues related to trauma, anger, grief and relationship issues. I work from a depth psychological perspective which means that I address the cause of symptoms as much as the symptoms themselves.

My goal is to help make counseling feel comfortable, safe, and at your pace. We will work collaboratively to help you find your strength, feel empowered and confident, and rediscover meaning and purpose in your life. Talking through past or present tough experiences or hurts can be difficult. It’s tempting to try and ignore them or minimize how they are impacting you. Therapy can be a safe space to help you take the time needed to address your feelings in a way that will help you truly heal from the hurt, and discover how to engage with yourself in a healthy way that enables you to move forward.
