I also specialize in therapy that focuses on the relationship between the child and parents.
My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

My extensive background includes working closely with families, children, and teenagers, equipping me with valuable knowledge and skills in various areas such as marital counseling, family dynamics, men's issues, spiritual and faith-related concerns, play therapy for children, and supporting adolescents.
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.

Do you feel like you are on repeat? You and your loved one(s) are going in circles, arguing about the same things; nothing seems to be resolved. You want to move forward but don’t know how. Maybe you don’t feel heard; somehow your message keeps getting missed and it doesn’t matter how loud or silent you get. You might be having a hard time reconnecting or understanding each other. Perhaps, you are grieving a painful breakup that has made you realize that there is an underlying pattern. Or just maybe, your inner child is screaming out and you are having a hard time making sense of your fears, anger, grief or shame. You need to heal.
