Biography

I believe counseling works best as a partnership—one built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to meaningful change. My role is not to “fix” clients, but to walk alongside them as we identify what’s getting in the way and work toward the outcomes that matter most to them. My therapeutic approach is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I have been married for over twenty years and am a father of twin boys and a stepfather, with firsthand experience balancing the demands of family life, work, and leadership roles. These experiences allow me to meet clients with empathy, realism, and respect for the complexity of life. I work with individuals, couples, and young adults, with particular experience supporting veterans, individuals living with PTSD, and high-stress or high-performing professionals. Many of my clients are accustomed to carrying significant responsibility and pressure, often prioritizing others while neglecting their own well-being. My work is client-focused, integrative, and holistic. I draw from multiple therapeutic modalities—including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, and relational approaches—while considering the whole person: emotional health, relationships, values, and life context. Therapy is tailored and collaborative, adjusting as clients grow and their needs evolve. With couples, I support partners in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening their sense of teamwork. With individuals and young adults, I focus on developing insight, coping skills, emotional resilience, and clarity during periods of stress or transition. At its core, counseling is a collaborative process. Clients bring their experiences and goals; I provide structure, support, and clinical guidance to help create meaningful, sustainable change.
