I work with men who think deeply, care a lot, and feel worn down by demands of modern life. You may be managing stress that shows up across multiple areas—career, relationships, identity, spirituality. Part of you wants things to be different, while another part feels unsure. This isn't a problem, but a starting point. We move at a pace that respects where you are and recognizes that progress doesn’t have to be dramatic to be therapeutic. You're taking that first step toward a life that feels not only manageable, but meaningful.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We can explore what brings you to therapy now and what you’re hoping for, as well as any previous experiences with therapy—what was helpful, what wasn’t, and what you want to do differently. My hope is that you leave with a sense of whether I am a good fit for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is structured and practical, and always centered on your unique values, goals, and readiness for change. I also bring humor and authenticity to therapy. Laughter can ease tension, reduce shame, and help you see old patterns with fresh perspective.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My work often focuses on three core areas: (1) relationships, intimacy, and emotional connection, including dating challenges, communication issues, sexual concerns, and patterns of emotional shutdown or avoidance; (2) career stress, burnout, and identity in high-responsibility roles, particularly healthcare professionals, caregivers, veterans, and emergency responders managing chronic stress, anger, or nervous system overload; and (3) life transitions, meaning, and family roles, such as fatherhood, divorce, caregiving, health changes, and moments when a role or identity no longer fits.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

We pay attention to unhelpful thought patterns and habits, while also making room for emotions rather than fighting them. I help clients learn how to step out of constant self-criticism, loosen the grip of anxiety, and move toward lives that feel more purposeful and aligned with their values.

Motivational Interviewing

Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and non-judgmental. I’m less interested in telling you what should change or how, and more focused on helping you clarify what matters to you—then supporting you in taking realistic, sustainable steps in that direction.

Strength-Based

You're more than your problems or your diagnosis. You're a whole person with strengths, resources, and supports. We will be actively identifying and exploring these domains, and including them in how we problem-solve and carry out goals.
