As a husband, father, and counselor, I understand the power of seeking and finding clarity within oneself, and the significant impact that this can have upon the meaningful relationships that exist within one’s life. I deeply value the counseling relationship, and I see this as the foundation through which positive change and personal growth can take place and flourish. I am particularly passionate about working with people who are struggling with issues pertaining to relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and self-esteem. I seek to meet people at whatever place they find themselves on their life's journey.
I believe strongly in helping people to develop a space in which they can more readily view themselves and their life with self-compassion and self-acceptance. I strive to provide a counseling space that is safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming of all people. I wish to work collaboratively with people and empower them to reach their personal goals.
If you have been feeling lost or unsure lately, as it pertains to moving along your life’s path, please reach out to me. I look forward to helping you find your way through the mental and emotional wilderness, and into the clearing, where you can attain greater clarity and peace in your life, and ultimately, experience a happier and healthier way of living.
