If you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression, you’ve found a warm and steady place to start. I’m a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and mindfulness has been a deeply important part of my own life and my work for nearly 30 years. Over the years, I’ve completed intensive meditation training in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, experiences that have profoundly shaped how I understand healing, presence, and the connection between mind and body. I’d be honored to bring all of that to you.

Choosing a therapist takes trust, and I believe you deserve to know who you’re working with.

Although I’m a male therapist, women’s issues have become one of my primary areas of expertise. During nearly eight years of counseling in Lebanon, Oregon, approximately 70% of my clients have been women, many healing from sexual trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, and major life transitions. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique struggles many women face while creating a safe, respectful space where they feel heard and supported.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the people who matter most. My role is not only to listen but to help you identify what’s keeping you stuck and equip you with practical tools that create lasting change.

I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, broken trust, communication difficulties, and life transitions. Every person and relationship has a unique story, so I tailor treatment to your specific needs and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

As a husband, father, and therapist, I understand that life isn’t lived from the sidelines. Relationships require intentional effort, parenting can be exhausting, careers bring pressure, and life rarely unfolds as planned.

Together we’ll build on your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical strategies you can apply outside the therapy office. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood, equipped, and confident in your ability to move forward.

Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your marriage, or your family, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment where meaningful change can happen. Healing isn’t about erasing your past—it’s about moving forward without allowing it to define your future.

I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body. He offers spiritual guidance and perspectives to those that wish. All services must be approved by provider

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.

Navigating your mental health journey is a brave step, and I'm here to meet you where you are. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe your story is unique and deserves to be heard. My approach is rooted in empathy, kindness, and cultural sensitivity.

If you're feeling stuck, challenged, or noticing yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people reach a point where they feel unsure about how to move forward or how to live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. Together, we can work through these burdens and begin exploring what may be keeping you from experiencing the life you want. If you're not sure what your goals are or what might be preventing you from moving forward, that is a perfectly valid place to begin—or continue—your path toward change, clarity, and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a secondary focus in Art Therapy. My background allows me to incorporate both traditional therapeutic approaches and creative expression when helpful, offering multiple ways to explore emotions, gain insight, and support meaningful personal growth.
