I have immediate openings and will return calls within 24 hours. I utilize well-researched, evidence-based practices including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness for addictive behaviors. The focus of our work together is to help you learn the tools to better manage your concerns for the long term. Additionally, we will build skills in effective communication, stress management, performance optimization, motivation, and psychological flexibility. My clients are individuals who may suffer from depression, anxiety, or who want to build a richer, fuller life.
As a former Navy Diver, I have the lived experience of military stressors, deployment readjustment challenges, and navigating the veteran health care system. I also specialize in working with athletes, men and masculinities, and individuals who struggle with substance use.
Our work together will not just be revisiting the past, we will discover how to integrate your experience and new skills into a hopeful, meaningful future. All are welcome.

My men's groups cater to guys who are generally high functioning in their lives, but who struggle to maintain existing relationships and to develop new ones - in particular friendships. Men's groups involve 6-8 members coming together every two weeks to gain new awareness about themselves and each other by learning concrete skills and techniques aimed at helping members to develop competencies that they can use in their lives outside of group. Members commonly experience some amount of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and often feel lonely or isolated even if they're frequently around people.
