I treat teens, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotional regulation, grief, and more. Some clients, favor confiding in a male therapist. My integrative approach draws from a combination of practices including mindfulness-based interventions, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and somatic practice which focuses on the mind body connection to help my clients cope with their issues, increase self-esteem, and develop emotional regulation and resiliency. In younger children, I use play therapy to facilitate communication and gain a deeper understanding of their needs.
My goal is to support my clients and their families by introducing a variety of coping strategies to assist them in navigating their early years, increase their sense of self-control and self-worth. Outside of therapy, I am an accomplished fitness instructor and certified nutrition coach. I stress the importance of the mind/body connection with all clients.
The teen to adult years can be confusing and isolating. I enjoy working with clients in both an office setting and in the great outdoors, providing therapy while moving, stretching or shooting baskets. I also provide tele-health. If you are looking for a relatable male therapist and you think I might be a good fit, please contact me.
