My mother taught me and my brothers from a very young age not to ever hate anyone. Her words have been invaluable to me. My father instilled in us boys a mantra that too has served me well. He said to us innumerable times "Listen." Neither of my parents were strict disciplinarians, and they never used corporal punishment. But, from boyhood, through adolescence and into young adulthood, my brothers and I could count on a well-deserved lecture and extra chores if either of my parents ever caught us breaking one of these rules. My parents' philosophy helped steer me into my life's work, and I employ their beliefs daily in my career as a therapist. I believe people seek counseling so they can be accepted, validated and heard. I committed to myself long ago to never hate and to always listen to my patients/clients/consumers, regardless of their behaviors.Validation, empowerment and dignity are what I strive to create, cultivate and reap in every therapeutic alliance into which I enter.

I specialize in working with folks navigating the complexities of anxiety, life stress, and trauma. Clients are drawn to me when they are seeking support to alleviate the weight of these challenges and regain a sense of inner peace and stability. Their primary need is to feel heard, understood, and validated in their experiences. They are not searching for quick fixes or superficial solutions but instead crave genuine connection and empathetic guidance.

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or trapped in your own thoughts. You replay conversations, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or carry experiences you rarely talk about. You've learned to keep functioning while bearing the weight of it all. As someone who has been on the other side of the badge and now serves as a licensed clinician, I understand what it means to bring difficult experiences home with you. When accustomed to being strong for everyone else, therapy can be where you finally take care of yourself. Let me help you quiet the spiral and reclaim your life.

As a former law enforcement officer, licensed clinical social worker, and current children’s social worker, I bring both professional training and real-world-experiences to therapy. I understand that asking for help can make it uncomfortable-especially for people who are accustomed to being the one others depend on.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, or family conflict start pulling you away from who you want to be. I work with adolescent boys, teens, and adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by emotional struggles and unhealthy patterns. Together, we focus on building confidence, emotional balance, healthy coping skills, and a stronger sense of purpose so you can feel more grounded, peaceful, and in control of your life and relationships.
