How will I know you are the right counselor for me?
Take a look around my site, and trust your gut feelings!
If you're considering therapy and wondering how to begin, I’m here to guide you through the process. First, take some time to explore my website, blogs, and social media (Instagram & Facebook—though I’m not very active on these platforms) to see if what I share resonates with you. It’s important to find a therapist whose approach aligns with your needs and values.
If you find things that ring true for you, the next step is to reach out. You can complete an inquiry form on my website or contact me via email or phone (text preferred) to schedule your free phone consultation.
What to Expect During the Free Consultation Call
During this consultation, we’ll review important logistical details about my practice, such as location, fees, and session availability, to ensure everything works for you. I’ll also use this time to learn a little more about you and why you’re seeking therapy. You’re welcome to ask me any questions about counseling, my therapeutic style, or anything else on your mind.
After the Phone Consultation…
If we both feel that scheduling an initial appointment is the right next step, I’ll set you up with an intake appointment date and time. I’ll also send you the necessary paperwork to complete electronically before your first session.
If, for any reason, we decide that an intake appointment might not be the best next step, I’m happy to provide you with recommendations for other clinicians who may be a better fit for your needs.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about this process or if you want to learn more about my services. I’m here to help you take the next steps toward your mental wellness journey.

I specialize in working with men and young adults. I am passionate about my career and want to work with you to create positive change. I also strive to create a counseling environment where men and young adults can relate, feel heard, and find new solutions to their negative patterns. Some issues that I most commonly work with are stress, relationship issues, difficulty saying “no” to others, difficulties recognizing emotions and emotionally connecting to others, anger, and intimacy issues, among others.
