I believe that we all benefit from having someone in our corner to listen, motivate, challenge without judgment, and support through life’s unpredictable changes and challenges. Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or not embodying the life you want for yourself, know that whatever you’re going through, change IS possible, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life. Having a holistic therapeutic approach, we will consider different aspects of your life in the quest for health & wellness. This includes your emotional responses to challenges, personal relationships, creative or spiritual outlets, and daily habits and rituals. Rather than just suggest that you incorporate new practices into your life, I believe it's most effective to integrate tools into therapy. Together, we will learn and practice coping skills like breathing techniques, meditation, and changing negative thinking patterns, in order to support your confidence and familiarity in utilizing these tools on your own.

My goal is to assist clients in unlocking their full potential and leading fulfilling lives. Together, we will address challenges using complementary therapy approaches to uncover and resolve long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions. Whether navigating tough situations or seeking a fresh start, I am here to provide support and guidance toward a more meaningful life journey.

These experiences drive my passion for mental healthcare, as they've given me a profound understanding of the journey to healing. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at home with my wife and our two rescue cats and watching action movies. The John Wick franchise is a personal favorite.”
