I have clinical experience working with adolescents through adults, and in various topics such as relationship issues, life transitions, exploring gender identity, and management of stress and depression.
I push my clients into finding their own strengths and to use them in their therapy treatment. In session, clients will be assisted in exploring their experiences in a safe and judgment-free environment and build their goals to achieve while in therapy. My ideal client is someone who is seeking help but does not know how to start, someone who thinks they don't need counseling, and people who don't know their own value. If I cannot help, I will assist in finding someone who can.

In a world of uncertainty and constant negativity, you might be feeling many emotions that you really are not used to. Anger, depression, anxiety, stress, isolation, and loneliness are just a small amount of these feelings that you may have, and I am here to help! Everyone struggles - myself, you, your child, heck even your pet can seem ‘off’ some days (my cats show endless amounts of expression). I work best with nerds, whether you’re 5 or 50! I’ve dealt with bullies and being outcasted personally due to my quirks so if you need help with communication, self-expression, or have ‘specific’ stuff (you know what I mean), I’m your guy!

Additional areas of specialization include grief and loss, post-traumatic stress, work stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life cycle transitions (adolescence, young adulthood, marriage, launching/empty nest, and retirement).
For over 35 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families to solve problems, improve relationships and make life transitions. In this time I have learned to respect the uniqueness of each individual and family, as well as the abilities and courage they bring to the challenges they face. My approach is friendly, straightforward and solution-focused, but with appreciation for the variety and complexity of factors that may be involved with the issues that folks bring to therapy. I enjoy collaborating with clients to manage stress and modify the patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that concern them.
