I am married and the father of two teenage kids. I enjoy sports, movies, and music. My hobbies include golf, camping, hiking, and kayaking. I have experience helping teenagers, adults, and couples with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting issues. I am focused on creating a safe and trusting environment for clients to talk and explore. Whether you are seeking help with a specific issue, needing to gain some insight in a particular area, or just want to talk through a certain thought or situation, I welcome everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. I tend to lean more direct with regards to talking through issues expressed by clients. I hope to understand and define the specific issue in order to work with more focus. While it is important for clients to come to their own conclusions and decisions, I actively engage in sessions to provide support and guidance throughout the process.
