"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." - Carl Rogers. Therapy is a deeply personal journey involving an array of emotions waiting to be discovered and explored. You deserve to be heard and supported through life's unpredictable moments and events, and I welcome you to share your experiences, obstacles, and thoughts in a comfortable, safe and encouraging space where you can unearth and be your authentic self.

I am currently seeing people in my office and virtually over zoom. I specialize in parenting issues, anger management and spiritual issues. I provide support to men and fathers as they strive to become the best version of themselves. I tend to work with a lot of men who are former athletes. My background as a former high school and college athlete seems to serve our connection. The men who come see me want help in figuring out ways to channel their aggression in a healthier way and tend to be self reliant and often have a hard time asking for help.

For children, teens, and young adults, there are times when navigating life’s challenges can be a struggle. For caregivers, finding a therapist who is also experienced in supporting neurodivergent individuals can feel overwhelming. Addressing anxiety, depression, and self esteem issues, handling intense emotions, building self advocacy skills, and creating positive relationships can be difficult to make progress on without a provider who understands neurodiversity. You may be looking for a therapist who has experience with Autism, ADHD, learning differences, giftedness and 2e, various communication styles, sensory needs, and more.
