With a Master’s degree in counseling, I’m trained to treat a wide variety of common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, and relationship issues. However, my passion is helping stressed out men to overcome their barriers, bad-habits, and insecurities to experience healing and breakthrough. I do so using my training in counseling, my experience in ministry, and my expertise as a trained addiction coach.

What is your dream state like, are you having troubling dreams? Where is happiness at, why are you not content? What lies have you come to believe? Who told you that and why do you believe it to be true? Why do you face the same giants in your life over and over again? Why did you react like that, what did you hear them say? Do you feel estranged from others? How do you fit in and why? My approach is not only to explore what may be hidden in the subconscious, but to find correlations between interactions both with intimate relationships and casuals ones. I use questions as a probe and analysis as the lens to bring about inner knowledge and healing.

Are you uncertain as to what kind of therapy you want? Not sure as to what sort of therapist will help you the most? I can help you answer these questions.

And whether our work is short or long term, together we can bring you that much closer to the support you deserve.

You know things seem off track yet can't seem to identify why. Things feel OFF! When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life history, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace and cherish all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Distress can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you thrive.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.
