I bring decades of life experience to my practice, including several decades as a devoted husband and father. I bring with me a life-long passion for delving into processing human behavior. I have effectively supported clients ranging in age from 5 to 84 years old. I work primarily with adults who experience depression and anxiety and those adjusting to major life transitions or relationship difficulties. I am compassionate but believe in challenging you. I use a strengths-based, person-centered, positive psychology approach, with CBT and motivational interviewing.

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

Clients engaging with me can anticipate a dynamic and empathetic exploration of their areas of interest. You can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can openly delve into thoughts, feelings, or behaviors you might hesitate to share elsewhere. I will ensure that each session is a space for authentic self-exploration, leaving you with concrete progress and practical tools to apply independently moving forward.

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

My greatest strength is my ability to make connections between thoughts, memories, or behaviors, which may not be immediately obvious to most. These connections are extremely important to one’s growth because when we ask why we are feeling a certain way, we must be able to push beyond the obvious. I believe we must engage in the type of dynamic thinking that reaches beyond common daily thinking. I am a very active participant during the session, and I am always searching for key insights I can use to help my client improve their mental health.
