My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive environment. I practice active listening and give you space to reflect, with me as an empathetic and collaborative partner. Therapy should feel like a safe place where you don't have to filter yourself—where your story is heard, your emotions are valid, and your goals are respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my journey as a service member, father, and husband. These roles taught me the importance of resilience, connection, and navigating life's challenges with courage. My passion for serving others grew from a desire to support people through difficult times with tools that foster real and lasting change.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to identify goals that are meaningful to you—whether that's managing anxiety, healing from past experiences, strengthening relationships, or building confidence. From the beginning, we'll talk about what you hope to gain and outline a path that feels both realistic and empowering.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and build trust. We'll discuss your background, what brought you to therapy, and your goals. I understand starting therapy can feel uncertain—that's normal. Building rapport is important to me. I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
