Therapy is no doubt a journey. It can be hard and sometimes scary to trust someone to assist in a vulnerable and sensitive portion of your life and to navigate through the process of change. I work with each client and their families to help them overcome each obstacle and hurdle to help reach their ideal life worth living. My sincerest hope is that any who reach out to me will feel supported and welcomed.

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us. -David Richo I believe that therapy should be a safe and comfortable place for people to come and talk. Therapy can be scary and maybe overwhelming at times.

When we look back at our lives, there are often identifiable moments that shape the direction life takes next. Sometimes these moments come as an opportunity - a person who genuinely sees and unconditionally accepts you - or a choice. These moments can often alter the path of life. Too often people are mislabeled, overlooked, and forgotten, and their behaviors reflect as much. I hope to create a place for people to see and be seen as they wish themselves to be. My goal is to create a safe haven for you to Overcome barriers, Nurture relationships, and Empower yourself to take ownership and control of your life.

Your voice is valid and you deserve to be heard. Life unfolds whether we feel in control or not. It is helpful to have a place to explore, discover, vent, and release the anchors that might be weighing us down and making life just a bit too difficult. Therapy is a way to soften the "shoulds", identify strengths, and face our shadows.

An accurate assessment of a child's learning profile, processing style and diagnostic status facilitates access to appropriate services within school systems. It provides parents and teachers with strategies that match the child's strengths to ensure a positive learning environment. Success breeds success. As your child discovers they can learn, they will become engaged with the process and ready to tackle educational challenges. Once identified, learning disabilities (dyslexia), autism, and ADHD can be approached with research based techniques that enable children to function with their peers in typical learning environments.

As a male therapist specializing in male psychology, I bring a nuanced perspective to the therapeutic process. I firmly believe that masculinity, in its essence, is not toxic or a problem to be solved. Instead, I view masculinity as a diverse and multifaceted aspect of human identity that deserves celebration and exploration. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where men can embrace their masculinity authentically, free from societal pressure or stereotypes. My mission is to break down the barriers that prevent men from seeking help and to challenge the stigma surrounding men's mental health.
