I specialize in working with men who struggle with self-esteem, relationships difficulties, motivation issues, social anxiety, ADHD, depression, and parenting issues. The clients I work with generally fall into 3 groups of people. The 1st struggles with self-esteem, social anxiety, some difficulties with forming healthy relationships, sensitivity to rejection, uncertainty of who they are, and being self-critical. The 2nd struggles with ADHD, indecisiveness, following through on goals, feeling disorganized, talking compulsively, racing thoughts, having too many ideas, and being perfectionistic to a fault. The 3rd group I work with are fathers or husbands. They may have difficulties controlling their emotions, connecting with their partner or children in a meaningful way, or communicating their thoughts and feelings in a way that's honest and empathetic. Every client I see is unique and not everything listed always applies, but if you see yourself in any of these groups then I encourage you to keep reading. Unfortunately I do not work with clients under the age of 24.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our initial session we will discuss your desired outcomes, important details relevant to the issues you're experiencing, and how my approach fits with your goals or expectations.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

While it is not the basis of my approach, my experience as a father, husband, and someone who has grappled with their own mental health challenges is often an asset to my clients. I also pride myself in giving each of my clients an experience tailored to their unique needs and personalities.

My treatment methods

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Through education, post graduate training, clinical experience, and an externship through ICEEFT (International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy), EFT has become my primary approach to working with clients on self-esteem, relationships, parenting, and emotional family issues.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I studied CBT extensively in grad school and utilize it to help address barriers to change, identify problematic beliefs, and to help client set into motion the changes that they would like to see in their lives.
