Whether it be relationship conflicts, phobias, substance abuse, depression, or anxiety, I specialize in identifying the problem(s) and supporting your treatment as we implement solutions to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. I have years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families using various modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), seeking safety, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. You are not alone! Millions of people, from all walks of life, struggle with managing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress, insomnia, and many other common mental health issues. Acknowledging that you need professional help is the first step toward getting your life back. Working together, I can help you identify the root of the problem, develop a client-centered treatment plan, and start implementing evidence-based practices to meet your individualized treatment goals. I’ll provide unconditional and nonjudgmental support throughout our journey together as you slowly recover what’s rightfully yours—your life. Treatment will be at your pace, based on your comfort level, and focused on reducing symptoms to improve quality of life.

I love spending time with my wife and 3 young boys (12, 9, 8). I enjoy playing basketball and running twice a week to reduce stress. I love to paint and paint daily in my practice.
