Philosophy
I operate from a strengths-based perspective focusing on creating a safe place to explore, learning to understand one’s self, providing an opportunity to self analyze along with clinical guidance, and develop skills to respond to life’s stressors along with managing personal mental health.
Personal Statement
It’s an honor and privilege to work with my clients helping them navigate the challenges of life.
About me
Providing mental health support since 2001, I play basketball, airsoft, video games, and board games with my wife and kids, have an expansive comic book collection, live on a small farm with plenty of animals, and cut my own wood to heat my home in the winter.
