Great to meet you!

I am a pretty simple guy that wants to connect with people and help them to also connect with their inner self. I have been working in the people business my entire career and what I have learned is that a person has all the power to heal themselves within themselves, sometimes they just need a few tools to aid in their journey. I believe in people, in the inherent goodness that comes when people can find their balance (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional).

A bit about my approach to therapy

I offer an eclectic approach to counseling. Most of my official training is in Cognitive Behavioral/Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapies, but have since studied and utilized a more mindful approach to supplement where some models may fall short. More than anything, I like to get to know a person and find the best approach that fits with them and their individual needs.

What you can expect from our first session

My wish is that a client walks away from sessions with a glimpse of their potential. I desire them to know that there is hope and goodness that can sometimes be hard to see because our brains and the world can feel a bit dark at times.
