(he/him)
I help individuals, couples, and families develop a balanced mindset that allows faster progress through challenges that foster a deeper understanding of self and others. I work collaboratively with my clients, nurturing curiosity and processing thoughts and feelings at their self-determined pace. For me, therapy is exceptionally helpful for uncovering our identity, healing past wounds, and fortifying our capacity to live more fully. With extensive experience in trauma work, I am deeply committed to teaching and especially motivated to support youth. Having spent much of my career assisting traumatized adolescents, I also serve as a diplomatic mediator and coach for couples and families.
In a client's first session, they will experience someone curious about them, and if possible and necessary, psychoeducation about their presenting issue(s)
My greatest strengths are being a good listener who is patient and collaborative who will help a clients work through their stuck spots
I am best able to help clients who are challenged with relationships and communications awareness
