My approach while direct, is comforting and understanding. A compassionate and accepting approach has the power to change our lives.

My Therapy Style

My clients are adults of all ages, genders, races, sexual orientations, religions, and cultures. They are interested in working with a therapist who will help them heal from stress, trauma, and unconscious conflicts. My approach while direct, is comforting and understanding. A compassionate and accepting approach has the power to change our lives. I believe 'Disorders' are just our body's way of pointing us in the direction of change and growth. They are not labels forever, nor weakness, but they point to the very strength within us to face our fears and become our true selves.

Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I was helped as a young man by a terrific therapist during a period of anxiety and chronic health issues. Initially, I wanted to be a high school history teacher, however, once I saw the impact that could be made in the therapeutic relationship I changed my major and became a licensed clinician.

What are your interests outside of work?

When not working, I love playing outdoors with my children, playing baseball and golf, and walking in nature.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

I go the the gym, meditate, and eat a health diet.

What book have you read more than once?

The Bhagavad Gita. I find it a wonderful metaphor for the experience of being a human.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

Any organization that supports cancer patients. My mother is a cancer survivor.

How do you recharge?

Meditation and being with my children.
