I work primarily with men in their 20s and 30s, teens, and families. I worked in education for a few years before going back to grad school because I saw a need for mental health care for the families and teens I worked with. I worked in community mental health from 2016-2018 before moving into private practice.

I am a psychotherapist, life, coach, and published author with over 25 years of experience. My methods are unconventional, so you may expect exceptional results from our work together. I am hands-on and interactive. I give my clients direction as opposed to just asking questions and nodding. I measure success by the degree of satisfaction we derive from our relationships and careers. I believe in giving you all so you can get it all. That's what makes love go the distance and your career, rewarding.
