I see therapy as a collaborative process where I bring my training and experience into the therapy room and you bring your life experience in order to work towards making life better. The collaborative process is important in all aspects of the therapy process, creating a safe environment, setting goals, doing the work between sessions, checking on progress, and checking on the overall process. My hope is that we are moving towards creating a rich and meaningful life and we move towards that together. The way I work is by being curious about who you are, and I always find it a great honor and privilege when someone shares their story, their pain, and joys in life. Opening up about struggles can be very scary and it is my hope to attune to what you need in this therapeutic relationship by listening, watching, asking questions, and sharing my own experience in the therapy room. This therapeutic relationship is so important in this process that I often find myself checking in about how that is going. I recently finished my training in Brainspotting as well.

My interests are spending time with my family, wife, son, and daughter, we go camping and hiking often. I enjoy playing with my dogs, I have a Boxer/Pit mixed, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I also love trying new coffee, when I visit new places I seek out local coffee shops that roast their coffee. I also really enjoy cooking and eating good food.
