As a strength based therapist, I see infinite potential in all of my clients to live fulfilled and meaningful lives. My therapeutic approach is strength based and uses your innate strengths and abilities to determine the most effective solutions. My work is influenced by two modalities. The first is a family centered practice which uses the your unique family of origin “story" to explore, in which ways, that “story” has influenced your life, love and happiness or unhappiness. The second modality is somatic, I have been extensively trained in utilizing the mind/body/breath connection.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a practice that focuses on young adults, adults, seniors, veterans, and first responders. I am also a United States Army Combat Veteran, and a father who knows what it is like to put other people's needs before your own. It takes time, exploration, and effort to learn a new way of looking at yourself. It takes time to see what is on the other side of the coin.

Do you want to build a stronger connection with your child? Are you concerned you are not able to support your child regulate their emotions? As a family-focused therapist, my goal is to support and foster a positive relationship within your family unit and find ways to support different types of relational connection. I also support adults that struggle to express themselves; "I don't know why I respond like that", unable to meet their emotional needs; "I don't know where to start" and those who find it difficult to connect with others; "I don't have people I can trust or that I can tell this to."

Relationships are complex & it may be time to explore how you’ve been impacted by past unhealthy relationships. You may feel as if you’re not enough, a bother or annoyance to your family or others. Often seeking acceptance from the others even though you know it may not happen. The struggle one has towards being accepted by family/others in order to feel as if you are good enough can often feel unbearable or never ending. Survivors of past damaged relations can make one feel as if you have no worth or value & leave you struggling to identify your worth & seek approval from others. You are not alone in these thoughts & feelings.

I work with individuals, couples and families. The relationship between the client(s) and me is important in achieving goals we set together. How trauma and abuse have influenced our current lives is a key issue. I also feel obsessive and compulsive patterns of behavior in our daily lives are important to examine.
