Many of the adults I work with are deeply thoughtful and self-aware. You may understand your story, your patterns, and even the roots of your pain; yet still feel disconnected, stuck, or unable to feel the relief you’re longing for. Knowing isn’t always the same as feeling, and that gap can be incredibly frustrating. My work centers on helping you reconnect with your inner world and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I support clients who carry the impact of childhood trauma, relational wounds, grief, and loss, as well as those who feel disconnected from their bodies or emotions.

Therapy with me is paced, relational, and grounded in somatic and trauma-informed care, allowing space for all parts of you to be seen and tended. I have extensive experience supporting adults who have survived childhood abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, and I specialize in grief counseling for those navigating the complexities of loss. I also offer equine-assisted psychotherapy in Central Florida. This experiential approach is so meaningful for those who struggle to access their emotions through words alone. If something in you feels ready to be met with care and curiosity, I would be honored to walk alongside you toward more ease and connection.

I’ve spent the past 18 years helping people work through the parts of life that can feel complicated, overwhelming, or simply stuck. My style as a counselor is conversational, practical, and down to earth. I want counseling to be a place where you can be yourself, talk honestly about what’s going on, and leave with a clearer idea of how to move forward.

I work with adults, couples, and teens dealing with marriage and relationship concerns, ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, men’s issues, spirituality, medical trauma, and disability. I especially enjoy helping people recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck and find realistic ways to make meaningful changes.

My own experiences shape the way I approach counseling. I’m a husband, father, business owner, and someone who has had to adapt to significant life changes. Losing my sight as an adult gave me a personal understanding of what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan and how those changes can affect relationships, family, independence, career, and confidence.

I don’t believe counseling needs to feel overly clinical. Sometimes you need a place to say what you’re really thinking, work through frustration, gain a different perspective, and figure out what comes next.

My approach includes Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy. For clients who want faith to be part of counseling, I can also incorporate a Christian perspective.

I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Central Florida in 2008 after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at UCF in 2005. I have worked in private practice since 2008 and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida.

If you’re looking for a therapist who quietly nods for 50 minutes, I may not be the best fit. My style is active, engaged, direct, and deeply relational.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, and difficult interpersonal dynamics. Clients often describe feeling both genuinely supported and meaningfully challenged in our work together.

I believe therapy should help people gain insight, shift patterns, improve relationships, and move toward lasting change not just vent for an hour each week.

My counseling style Is a combination of empathy, compassion, tactful honesty and accountability. I think it’s important to build good rapport and mutual respect.

I use a variety of counseling techniques like Cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, Narrative therapy, Client centered therapy, Solution focused therapy, mindfulness and psycho-education.
