Great to meet you!

Hi! I majored in theatre arts for my undergraduate, love building Lego sets for self-care, and avid lover of dogs. I continue to work on my private pilot's license as a long term goal and aim to be the best father I can be with a new baby in 2026.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is not a one sided relationship as I learn from my clients as much as they do from me. I welcome honest and open communication and will never push you beyond your limits and/or what you are able to handle. I will be with you each step of the journey, however short or long.

What you can expect from me

If you are new to therapy, I can give you the ins and outs of it, since I have been on the receiving end. I truly feel that an effective therapy is a therapist who has done the therapy themselves--in my humble opinion. The first session will cover expectations and the limits of confidentiality. The second and third session will be continuing getting to know you and short/long-term goals you want to get out of therapy.
