I specialize in helping individuals and couples manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and addictions. I create a safe, open, and supportive environment where clients can share without fear of judgment. Taking the first step into therapy can feel overwhelming, but I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, encouragement, and respect for your unique journey.

"As a man with ADHD and OCD tendencies, I work best with men with ADHD or OCD who somehow “pushed through” climbing the “corporate ladder” only to discover they left their families behind somewhere along the way."

I have 22 years of licensed experience as a professional counselor and supervisor working with men experiencing anxiety, anger issues, ADHD, panic attacks, OCD, and relationship issues. I typically work with men who struggle with ADHD or OCD, are leaders in their fields, but cannot seem to get work done or connect with their families. Generally, these men have anxiety on top of guilt or shame and feel "less than" others in their fields. Oftentimes, they experience anger and resentment in their relationships and may feel like they are treated like a child. If you can relate, you came to the right place!

I use a very interactive approach to counseling — no more "sitting in silence" for 45 minutes! During sessions, I use CBT and short-term, solution-focused therapies to help men see their "stinking thinking" and get motivated to make the changes needed to be a better man. Men leave with homework to practice newly learned skills.

I understand what it feels like to try to "push through" without any results. I also know how difficult it is for men to ask for help. I help men build a framework of solutions that actually work. You will feel understood and gain hope that you can make needed improvements. You see the problem — now take action!
