I know what it is like to walk through life's toughest moments. Divorce, an emotionally

abusive relationship, and raising two kids (one a teenager, one a young adult) taught me firsthand that healing is possible, and that nobody should have to do it alone.

Today I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience, a devoted father, and a former martial artist who traded the mat for the counseling room. I started out as a middle school shop teacher, and watching school counselors change students' lives is what led me to earn a master's in school counseling and then a second master's in counseling. If you are ready to feel less stuck and more likeyourself, I would be glad to walk alongside you.

I primarily rely on Cognitive Behavior Therapy with clients. I will pull techniques from other types of therapy where I feel it will help the individual I'm working with.

In our first session, we will spend a little time getting to know each other, then talk through what brought you to counseling and what you want to be different. I keep

things practical: you will leave with at least one tool you can use this week. My goal is that you walk out of every session with a more positive outlook and the clear sense

that you are not alone in solving your problems.
