Struggling with one’s own mental health or serving as a caregiver to someone else’s disorder often feels lonely, as if no one else could possibly understand. You will find an understanding audience with me and gain a sense of hope. As a husband, parent, grandparent, veteran, and 20-year professional secondary educator, my spirituality has provided the foundation, perspective, tools, truths, and wisdom to persevere through many of life's common hardships, giving me empathy for those overwhelmed by life. I am a Christian counselor who uses Biblical principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment awareness to help individuals gain contentment and support heterosexual couples in building intimate marriages. I teach how to parent teens using Love and Logic. For parenting and family work, I draw on 20 years of experience in secondary public education, working holistically with whole family units to enrich relationships by reducing conflict, as many families have told me, "This has completely changed the climate in our home!" "And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I am passionate about holding space for healing and creating opportunities for sustainable change for individuals from all walks of life. I am a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience providing therapeutic support to children, teens, and adults. I celebrate the unique perspectives and worldviews that each of my clients and colleagues bring to our work together.

My holistic approach to counseling incorporates evidence-based techniques and a warm, collaborative style to ensure that my clients feel empowered and engaged in their therapeutic journeys. Specializing in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and childhood emotional and behavioral health, I employ an integrative and personalized modality that meets each client where they are, providing supportive connections and genuine empathy to nurture growth and emotional wellness.

I believe every individual has the capacity to define who they are and who they want to become, regardless of their past. My job is to help you reconnect, redefine, and re-imagine who you are by discovering what matters most to you. My primary goal as a counselor is to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find opportunities to grow and create the change they want to see. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience by exploring nutrition and physical activity with a unique therapeutic approach that combines CBT, Existentialism, Shadow Work, and Dream Analysis. My mission is to help you gain control over Stress and Anxiety, understand and transform past Trauma, navigate Life Transitions, and explore faith-based and spiritual concerns by re-establishing broken or lost connections with who you are, and what is most important to you.

Hello, I will offer you my utmost respect and encouragement throughout the therapy process. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Montana State University - Billings. I have worked for several mental health agencies, including positions in elementary schools, high schools, and on a college campus. Additionally, I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and counseling at the university level. I have supervised graduate interns as they complete their hours toward licensing and have overseen an outpatient therapy department. Furthermore, I have served as a campus counselor, assisting college students with their personal growth and relationship issues. Having "hope" is one of the most important motivators to overcome life challenges. Finding "hope" can immediately change one's mood from despair to peace. I have significant experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, motivation, finding purpose, and life transitions. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, but we all need help to navigate this life. I will provide you with support, encouragement, an outside perspective, and space to explore productive options to steer your life in the right direction and, most importantly, find "hope." A whole stack of memories never equals one little hope.

Hello! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My passion as a provider is caring for diverse populations, including children, LGBTQ+ individuals, preconception, peripartum, and postpartum women, and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. I aim to make you feel as open and comfortable as possible and provide a non-judgmental environment where you feel heard. Together, we can create a treatment plan based on your goals and symptoms so you can return to living a life you love! I take careful consideration of your needs and desires regarding medications and try to find something that allows you to function adequately, has a manageable side effect profile, and targets your particular set of symptoms. Please note I do not prescribe daily benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam, Valium, etc.) or hypnotic sleep aids.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process; it won't happen overnight. I am committed to assisting you in creating that change for yourself. I believe you possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change, and I will assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness. In therapy, many issues are openly discussed, but sex and sexual issues can be uncomfortable topics for many clients. Yet, many people have sexual issues that need to be resolved for life to be as fulfilling as it can be. I am particularly passionate about working with women who are struggling with intimacy of any kind and are dedicated to improving this area of their lives. I also enjoy working with couples to help them identify the underlying issues causing strife in their relationships, rebuilding after infidelity, or increasing their ability to understand one another in order to help them design a marriage they can confidently pursue for a lifetime. I have been accepted into the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes’ Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology Program, and I am excited to use this knowledge in my work with you!

As a therapist, I believe that healing begins in relationships - especially the one you have with yourself. I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where you can explore your inner world, reconnect with your authentic self, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach integrates person-centered therapy, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and relational psychodynamic work. I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, attachment wounds, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, high sensitivity, and neurodivergence. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that once helped them survive but are no longer serving them. Together, we explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion, not judgment. Clients often describe me as calming, present, and easy to talk to. At the same time, I am an active therapist: I don’t sit back silently, but instead engage thoughtfully, ask meaningful questions, and offer gentle guidance when needed. I see therapy as a shared journey, one where my role is to provide both a safe haven and a catalyst for meaningful change. Growth often involves discomfort, and I aim to support you in stretching just enough to foster that change, without overwhelming your system. Ultimately, I want therapy with me to feel like a place where you can bring your full self, messy, uncertain, hopeful, tender, and be met with care, insight, and genuine connection. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about research and am currently pursuing my PhD, focusing on culture shock, reverse culture shock, fluctuations in self-concept, and belonging.
