About
As a queer-identified man that has personal experience with trauma, grief and loss, I believe that I have an authentic understanding of how difficult navigating life can be, while also understanding how powerful learning to build upon our own resilience and skills can empower us to be better versions of ourselves.
I am a nationally board-certified, licensed professional counselor. I've worked in residential settings with adults with severe diagnoses and opened and ran a crisis/diversion program for those struggling with mental health, substance abuse, and housing needs. Most recently, I've been a tenured professor of counseling at a community college. I've embraced working with diverse individuals—LGBTQIA+ clients, racial and ethnic minorities, and older adults—and have supervised student affinity groups, founded a diversity scholarship, and provided clinical supervision to several individuals, all of whom obtained their clinical license.
I believe the skills you need are inside you, and I work with you to identify those strengths and explore what has been in the way. I have a strong connection to identity development, transitions, and overcoming loss—of self and of loved ones. I've regularly worked with severe depression and anxiety, guiding individuals through their symptoms and day-to-day.
You matter and your experience matters. While no one may fully understand your unique experiences, feelings, and thoughts, having a space to connect with someone who really wants you to live your best life is vital. If you're ready to take that first courageous step and find a good fit for your journey, I believe you can do this.

Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Wyomissing therapists who is trained to provide career development support.
Career counseling works to help you navigate your professional career and offer valuable information, such as required skill sets and/or education, regarding a particular position you may be considering. The following are common focuses of conversation that will help your career counselor best help you:
