My style:
I am a direct clinician. I intervene to help you uncover deep truths, heal from awful experiences, and discover what works to make your life more closely align with your goals.
I specialize in helping individuals who are feeling stuck and out-of-control of their behaviors and their relationships. I help them gain control, achieve their full potential, and find peace and meaning. I work with couples and families to deal with addiction, codependency, perpetual disagreements, and unexpected challenges. I have completed Level 2 training in EMDR therapy and use EMDR in my work. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) and use GMCT in my work.
Background:
I graduated from ULL with a Master of Science in Counseling in 2023. Prior to beginning counseling, I worked in Youth Ministry full time, overseeing preteen, teen and young adult programs. I am a grateful father of 3 young children and have been married for 7 years.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy
My style:
You don't have to have the words for it yet, something in you knew to look. Maybe you've been feeling off without knowing why, like you're going through the motions but not quite living. Or maybe you know exactly what's wrong and need someone who can sit with you in it without trying to fix you. I help people come home to themselves, feeling proud of who they are, confident in their relationships, and clear about the direction of their lives.
I draw on Relational-Cultural Theory and Existential Therapy to help clients explore what they're feeling, but why it matters and who they are becoming on the other side of it. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients get to know the different parts of themselves: the ones that protect, the ones that carry old pain, and the ones that have been waiting to be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps us identify the patterns of thought and behavior that keep you stuck and build practical tools for change. For couples, I draw on the Gottman Method to help partners move out of conflict cycles and toward genuine connection. Woven through all of it is a psychodynamic lens that is integrative by nature to meet each client where they are. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing isn't something I do to you, it emerges from within you.
Background:
I am currently completing my Master of Science in Counseling.
