Hi there, I'm Alan!
I have a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and over 20 years of experience working with couples and families. I’m also a spouse, a father, a U.S. Army veteran, and a recreational sailor. My professional training and life experience help me understand how relationships are shaped by stress, expectations, and communication styles.
My focus
I help people with challenges like stress, relationships, past trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. I am curious and comfortable learning about your lifestyle, background, culture, and worldview, even (and especially) if it is different from my own. I won't judge you for being different or unique!
My approach
My approach is conversational, practical, and goal-oriented. I lean heavily on evidence-based treatments like CBT and Gottman Method family therapy because I like the practical approach and opportunity to use homework to build skills between sessions. We’ll focus on small, meaningful steps forward, and I promise you won’t feel diagnosed or blamed.
