Are you experiencing problems in your relationships? Having parenting issues? Or dealing with a challenging adolescent? Or is your child experiencing academic/behavioral/social problems? I have helped many individuals/parents find more constructive ways to deal with their challenges and utilize effective coping skills that can help them gain better control of their situations.
I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families within the schools, community non-profits and in their homes.

I specialize in teen, young adult, grief, women's needs and individual needs.
I believe therapy is a place where a client can feel safe to express his/her/they concerns without being judged. This is a place where you can come and talk about things you can't talk about with anyone else. Clients come into therapy to find answers to questions they can't find on their own. My goal is for each client to be able to use the tools developed in therapy and take them into the outside world. This is a place where we, as a team, can set realistic goals that are reachable by you, the client. I want each client to take steps to become the heathiest version of themselves.

Healing begins when we feel heard, understood, and supported in our journey. As a therapist, I am dedicated to not only become your guide, but to become your companion in your journey towards healing and growth. My approach is grounded in creating a safe and empathetic space for children, teens, and adults who are grappling with issues related to identity, behavior, relationships, emotional dysregulation, self-worth, and school/work issues, to allow them to develop more positive coping skills. I am also passionate about working with couples to navigate relationship challenges, and to cultivate stronger and healthier relationships.

Have stress and anxiety affected how you show up in work or in relationships with family and friends? Over time, constant exposure to work or life stressors can accumulate until we can no longer ignore the signs, and we recognize that something needs to be done.

Discovering ourselves can raise different emotions because as humans we tend to wear a mask to appear to others differently. Perhaps, we wear a masks as shields to protect us from others hurting us or wear masks because we are fearful to show who we really are as individuals. Are you are willing to heal those open wounds that continuously hurt you and stop you from moving forward? Do you want to stop listening to your inner voice and stop judging yourself (no one judges you more than yourself). This process could definitely be painful and it is hard work; however, you can make some changes if you are willing to do so.

Hope is the heartbeat of our soul! Life can bring us difficult situations that seems impossible to overcome and sometimes we just need to take tiny steps to be able to overcome them. Living in a saturated, fast-paced world can lead us to look for quick fixes and magic bullets. At Tiny Steps, we believe in healing, the process of gradually becoming well again, through the integration of the body and the soul.

I have heard it said that it only takes one therapist to change a light bulb, but the light bulb has to really want to change. Naturally, my best results are with motivated people who realize their current patterns aren't working and are willing to try something different. I have experience with adolescents, adults and mature adults. While my religious background is Christian, my clients come from all religious backgrounds, and sexual orientations. My intention is to walk the talk and my experience as a husband of 40 years, a father, and a grandfather, add to my therapeutic offering.

I believe therapy is a process in which people nurture their strengths and understand the experiences that have shaped their lives. Together we will work holistically, while we explore the thoughts that bring us joy and the triggers that cause us pain and sadness. With over 2 decades of experience working with adults and teens, I have helped people who live with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders live fuller and happier lives. Sessions with me are a very interactive process that blends cognitive based therapy and mindful practices with natural humor and compassion.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
