I am a husband of 13 years, a father of a 10 y/o neurodivergent son and a 6 y/o precocious daughter, a veteran of the US Navy with 12 years served, including 1 deployment, and a geek. I am what the Japanese culture describes as an otaku, in that I work to support my passions. In my free time I enjoy video games (mostly on Nintendo Switch), movies (all kinds, although my favorite is the 2005 animated Transformers movie), books (current favorite author is Brandon Sanderson), and spending time with my family.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is one to get to know each other and develop a treatment plan. We will explore the reason for seeking therapy, what is going on currently that is creating stress/discord in life, and how to address this.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel like my greatest strengths are how approachable and personable I am, as well as my varied background which gives me a greater capacity to relate with others, due to having been in so many different situations.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to increase awareness of, and challenge, anxious or negative thoughts that are impairing a client's ability to focus or accomplish desired/necessary tasks. I have been utilizing CBT, at least in part, since I began my licensure processes in 2017.
Couples Counseling
I have been working with couples since obtaining my license. I believe that the 3 key ingredients to a healthy relationship, particularly an intimate one, are: healthy and effective communication; clearly communicated and consistently enforced boundaries; and humility. My approach in couples counseling involves focusing on these three points, to improve the quality of the relationship.
Eclectic
I find that no one therapy approach works for every client, and that each model brings a different, and often helpful, view and approach. As such, I work with my clients to develop the most effective treatment plan for them, often using pieces of multiple models, rather than trying to fit my clients into a particular model's box.
