I work with adolescents, adults, Veterans, and families navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress management, substance use, and emotional conflict.

I have a particular passion for supporting children and families healing from trauma and disrupted attachment. I have extensive experience providing attachment-focused therapy for adopted children, children in foster care, and their caregivers — working alongside families to strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, build trust, and address behavioral concerns.

With more than 20 years of experience, I've worked across private practice, community-based mental health, managed care, substance abuse treatment, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. I bring warmth and steady expertise to every stage of the healing process.

Therapist

Many men carry struggles they’ve never felt safe enough to talk about. I work with men, adolescent males, veterans, and military members who are dealing with trauma, substance use, domestic violence, compulsive sexual behaviors, relationship conflict, and the pressure of trying to hold everything together. You might feel stuck in patterns that are damaging your relationships, affecting your sense of identity, or leaving you feeling ashamed, angry, emotionally disconnected, or out of control. My work also involves betrayal trauma, conduct disorders and men overwhelmed with power, privilege and identity issues.

Anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, and unhealthy coping patterns can make it difficult to move forward alone. My goal is to provide a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.
