I believe you deserve therapy, because at times, life can be really painful. As your therapist, we'll work together to explore what's been hurting you. It's by processing your emotional pain that you can heal, and when you heal, you gain the freedom to choose your path in life. So, let's work together to address your past, present, and future pains, and move toward a reality where you’re in control, not your pain.
I support Couples, Families, Teens, and Young Adults using Relational Life Therapy and Internal Family Systems informed care. I’m particularly interested in working with men on issues regarding masculinity, self-esteem, relationships, family struggles, depression, anger, anxiety, problem video game behavior, and failure to launch.
I make clients feel safe & seen while challenged enough to grow. I strive to be a human in the room instead of a white coat who nods coldly while jotting notes on a clipboard. Therapy can and should be playful, spontaneous, and funny where appropriate. I like explaining concepts by drawing pictures and prefer using language that’s accessible to everyone.

IFS views our mind as a team of players (parts) on a football team. Each with a specific role. Some defend, some attack, and others are injured. The goal is to become a good coach to each player by knowing their roles & providing for their needs. By fostering a strong & compassionate inner-coach (core Self) to lead these players, we create a cohesive internal team capable of achieving its goals.
