I’m committed to helping you achieve positive change in your life. My approach combines Solution-Focused therapy, DBT-Informed therapy, and mindfulness interventions. By focusing on your goals and beliefs, we’ll develop practical skills and self-awareness to help you navigate life’s challenges.

Specialties

Men’s Issues

As a man, do you feel the weight of expectations from those around you? Do you struggle with expressing your emotions or feeling vulnerable? Together, we can explore your values, identify external pressures, and create a plan to become the man you want to be.

Self-Compassion

Negative self-talk can erode your confidence and well-being. We’ll work together to counter those harmful messages and cultivate self-acceptance through authentic and positive self-talk.

Work-Life Balance


Feeling burnt out, stressed, or neglecting self-care due to work or school demands? I can help you achieve a healthier balance that aligns with your values.

Ways of Working

Solution-Focused Therapy

We’ll collaborate to identify your beliefs and leverage your past experiences to guide you towards your desired outcomes.

DBT-Informed Therapy

If you struggle with managing emotions or interacting with others, DBT-informed therapy offers practical skills to navigate these challenges effectively.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness practices can help you regulate emotions, avoid impulsive actions, and enhance self-awareness.

About Me

After a 25-year career in software development, I transitioned into counseling to make a more meaningful impact on people’s lives. I’m a naturally curious person who enjoys learning, spending time with my wife, and indulging in nerdy games and dad jokes.
