I specialize in working with adult men navigating self-esteem issues, substance use, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My experience also includes supporting veterans, first responders, and individuals facing chronic or terminal illness. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to begin therapy, and I strive to meet each client with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to explore what truly matters to them.

My style is grounded in a person-centered approach, which I combine with directive techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and faith-integrated counseling when appropriate. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and authentic, where clients are empowered to take ownership of their growth while knowing they’re not alone in the process. I work to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can explore both the barriers and breakthroughs together.

Clients often tell me they feel heard, challenged, and genuinely supported in our work. Many have walked away with stronger communication skills, a clearer sense of boundaries, and a renewed perspective on themselves and their relationships. Whether you’re facing addiction, emotional stress, or a desire for deeper change, I’ll meet you where you are and walk with you toward something better.
