specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Finding the right person to work with can make all the difference between a successful and unsuccessful therapy outcome. You want to feel confident that you are in the right place and in the right hands, so I don’t take it lightly when you make time to meet with me. I don’t just see “a person,” I see a human being with a body, a mind, and a spirit who is also in relationship with others. All those parts play a role in how we experience wellness and connection in our lives. When you meet with me, I won’t rush to assume I’ve got you all figured out and that I know what’s best for you, your relationship, or your family. Instead, I’ll listen carefully and ask questions to make sure I’m understanding you well before we discuss an appropriate starting point for making the changes you’re seeking. You’ll find my approach to therapy to be supportive, informative, and practical.

​

Because I have a background both in clinical and theological studies, I’m as comfortable discussing spiritual matters as I am discussing psychological issues. While my career as a therapist so far has allowed me to gain experience in treating a variety of mental health disorders—conduct issues, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis, addictions—I have gravitated toward three primary areas of focus of which I am particularly passionate: relationships, parenting, and trauma.

 

As a man, husband, and father with my own story, I draw from both, best treatment practices as well as my own personal experiences, to effectively help you with the challenges you’re facing in your life.  Whether we’re working on your relationships, or helping you navigate your child’s behaviors, or processing experiences in your life that have left you feeling “broken,” you’ll be met with respect, empathy, and a practical plan to help you begin experiencing the quality of life and relationships you deserve!
