Together, we’ll work through these challenges, exploring tools to manage grief, anxiety, and self-doubt, and to help you reconnect with your voice and inner strength.

These experiences inform my work deeply. I don’t just listen, I engage with you in a grounded, compassionate, and relational way that goes beyond simply talking about trauma. Together, we’ll work to understand how it lives in your body, your relationships, and your sense of self, and begin the process of healing from the inside out. I am specialized in treating adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma related concerns.

Choosing the right therapist is important, so I offer a free 15-20 minute phone or video consultation to discuss your needs and ensure we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure—this call is simply an opportunity for you to learn more and decide if you’d like to move forward with therapy. You may take your time after the call to decide whether to move forward.

I've been in therapy myself and have both healed and grown tremendously having worked with

therapists. Through my work with skilled therapists, I have become a more present, alive, whole-

bodied person that has learned to love myself--to be kinder to myself, less self-critical, happier,

and enjoy expressing my various forms of creativity. I'm not perfect but I continue to make shifts

when I drift into old patterns. As a result of these experiences and recommitting to shifting into

presence, self-acceptance, and whole-body awareness I feel more connected, alive and at peace. I

enjoy loving relationships with the people closest to me including my wife and children. When

not working with people, I enjoy reading biographies and adventure novels, playing board and

card games, watching live baseball games, and enjoying a variety of outdoor activities and

pursuits.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and long-term psychotherapy. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma.

My professional background includes service in military and veteran-support settings, as well as work in community mental health, medical and hospital-based environments, and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients across a wide range of life circumstances—from acute stress and major transitions to deeper, long-term personal growth.

My practice is grounded in a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that integrates evidence-based and relational therapies. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported, understood, and appropriately challenged, with the goal of not just symptom relief, but meaningful, lasting change in how clients relate to themselves and others.
