• I will tell the truth. Kindly, clearly, and without fluff. Progress requires honesty.
• I value structure and clarity. We will set goals. We will measure movement. We won’t just “vent and vibe.”

When a man needs to fix a car, he finds the right tools. Men by nature are problem-solvers, but without the right coping tools, you might be stuck. Shame or pride can hold you back, but don’t let it. Most of the men I work with say going to therapy was the best decision they made to solve problems, restore hope, and reclaim their lives. I have equipped myself as a Licensed Independent Social Worker. Let me help you to drive your relationships toward intention, passion and purpose.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

I entered the field of therapy because I have seen firsthand the profound impact that the right support can have on a person's life. I know that life can be incredibly heavy, and having a dedicated partner to help you navigate those challenges can make all the difference.

Over nine years ago my life changed. I lost a son to suicide due to unaddressed mental health needs. A system that was overwhelmed failed him. I returned to school to help close that gap and want to work with others to start their journey towards mental wellness. As someone who has experienced depression and anxiety, I understand the challenges faced.
