I’m so glad you’re here! I imagine you are looking for a therapist for teens and men because you’ve tried everything to help your teen son, your relationship, your work/career, or have no idea what next steps to take for yourself. I specialize in helping adolescent boys navigate challenges with motivation, life direction, the transition into adulthood and supporting men facing relationship struggles, difficulties in connecting with their significant others, and family conflicts. It’s time to hire a professional.

I am trained as a professional counselor and addiction counselor, but also have additional training in goal setting and achieving, behavior change, techniques to distressing events more tolerable, and am equipped to help you or your son move past barriers. I’m not the type of therapist that is going to repeatedly ask, “so how does that make you feel?” What a waste of time and money that is. Along with supporting your goals, I’ll challenge you when it’s needed, give you ideas and understanding from different viewpoints and ensure you have options to choose from so that you can do what is best for you.

When we meet, I use an interactive, collaborative, conversational, and relational approach that will ensure you have the ability to change how you think, control your emotions, and take practical steps to reach your goals in a structured environment before taking those new skills back to your day to day life. What that means is our sessions tend to be conversational, fun at times, and relationship based. If you care about the clinical jargon, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, EMDR, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me running or reading.
