My passion is working with families, couples, and men seeking therapy for issues related to communication, emotional and behavioral regulation, and disconnected relationships. I also have clinical experience treating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), intrusive thoughts, depression, grief, and trauma. Together we can fight the negative patterns and issues attempting to hold your life and treasured relationships hostage.

I use a foundation of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) which works to progressively change the relationship between your behavior, thoughts, and emotions so that this dynamic can be more productive for your present and future circumstances. I also use solution-focused (SFT) and emotionally-focused (EFT) strategies to help clients practice coping skills that integrate their logical and emotional processes instead of favoring only one process over the other.

My clients consistently remind me of the sacred work I get to do by sitting in their stories and relationships with them. You are already displaying a level of courage, tact, and resiliency by researching me and what therapy could look like. I would be honored to join you in your quest for healing, growth, and stability.

I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and raised in the Chicagoan suburbs of Illinois. In addition to being a mental health counselor, I am the husband to my wife of five years, Ashley, and father to my toddler daughter, Adelaide. In my free time, I enjoy exercising by playing sports (especially basketball), spending quality time with family and friends, and “nerding” out through reading, Audible, or listening to podcasts.
