I’ve seen and experienced how hard it is to connect with the right therapist…
It’s my priority that you feel understood, safe, and seen in ways you didn’t expect, and over time I’ll work to maintain that compassion while providing direct feedback and persistently remind you of your inner strength and purpose.
I always joke that my core counseling skills were developed from being a bartender for over a decade and working in childcare from a young age. So I definitely welcome humor and lightheartedness in sessions.
I know that it can be difficult for some to see a white, male therapist.,,
I work from a place of continuously learning and examining my own privileges and blind spots. My role in therapy is less of being the all-knowing expert…but more so your guide on the path of self-discovery, education, and healing with you as the expert of you.
My guidance is also influenced by personally living through experiences of becoming a father at a young age as well as being chronically ill, the caretaker of chronically ill child, neurodivergent, and queer.
Unfortunately, we are all susceptible to all sorts of tragedy, loss, loneliness, anxieties, and depression.
I believe that in working together we can come up with some helpful tools and strategies to help you right away.
Together we’ll focus on intersections of identities, life narratives, family of origin, attachment styles, feelings of inferiority, and mistaken beliefs…
...while cultivating courage, social interest, and a true sense of belonging.
So that you can improve your self-belief, relationships, career, and hope for a better future.
