Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Do you feel a bit lost or even depressed sometimes? None of the above? Whatever you bring to counseling, know that I will work to create a healing relationship with you to overcome your challenges.

I work a little differently than what you may know from reading about counseling online, or even your own past experiences in counseling. I am focused on long-term, experiential, and meaningful growth. I work almost exclusively from a Person-Centered perspective, though I do have training in CBT, DBT, and EFT.

You and I will work collaboratively to find meaningful ways forward in your life. This looks a little different for everyone, but generally you can expect to build self-awareness, self-compassion, and meaningful intentionality while we work toward solutions in your life.  

As a man in American society who is on my own journey navigating masculinity, I have found that I am able to build strong, close, and safe therapeutic relationships with male clients. If the previous sentence feels irrelevant to you, consider that I can offer a different kind of relationship with a man than you have maybe experienced so far in life. I am affirming of all gender identities, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and ethnicities. I take this extremely seriously and I also recognize it is a lifelong learning process for me. 

When providing relationship or couple counseling, I aim to increase safe and effective communication in sessions so that partners are empowered to build strength at home together. I am in an intercultural and interracial marriage and am also aware of the challenges in these types of relationships. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. 

I love what I do and I love answering questions and getting to know potential clients. I have experience in working with a variety of populations and diagnostic labels, so if you don’t see something in my profile that resonates with you, feel free to ask me about it.
