I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.

I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius. Many men resonate with this wisdom from Stoic philosophy. Life brings disruption, trauma, career shifts, and family transitions that can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are. I specialize in helping men reclaim identity and purpose after disruption. Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship strain, or questions of meaning, counseling offers a space to face these challenges directly while discovering resilience you may not yet see in yourself.

I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. I specialize in complex trauma, especially within relationships and attachment. This means that most of my clients struggle with anxiety, shame, depression, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, codependency, disordered eating, attachments and communication. My niche is working with "cycle breakers" who are navigating how to get unstuck from learned patterns that are no longer serving them. They are often adult children of emotionally immature parents. Dysfunctional patterns often begin long before adulthood and can be rooted in painful family dynamics and/or generational trauma.
