Find Your Counselor

Are you tired of craving peace and quiet, only to feel restless the moment you find it? Do you catch yourself questioning everything internally, even when you have what you need? These experiences can be signs of depression, anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. I help men, veterans, service members, and children reconnect with themselves, improve behaviors, and find the stability and clarity they and their families have been searching for.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I know firsthand how hard it can be to open up, especially to someone who doesn’t understand the culture, the pressure, or the unspoken expectations. I’ve been in the seat where therapy felt distant and disconnected. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to bridging that gap and making you feel understood from the start. 

Whether you're surviving the stress of your day-to-day, struggling with mental health, seeking more satisfaction in your relationships or career, needing to change and modify some behaviors, or simply trying to regain a sense of purpose, no matter the problem, I’ve got your back.

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 Institute’s Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology Program, and I am excited to use this knowledge in my work with you!
