I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that meaningful counseling begins with trust, understanding, and meeting people where they are. My own life experiences have shaped the way I approach counseling and the importance I place on creating a safe, judgment-free environment for every client. I am a military veteran with two overseas tours of duty and a retired law enforcement officer. I’m also a husband, father, and brother, experiences that have given me a deep appreciation for the challenges that can come with service, family, relationships, and simply navigating life. I work with adolescents ages 15 and older and adults, with a particular focus on military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. I also work with teens experiencing mental health challenges and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges that can make life feel overwhelming. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe counseling should be collaborative—not about telling you how to live your life, but about helping you better understand yourself, identify what may be holding you back, develop effective tools, and move toward the life and relationships you want. Whether you’re a first responder carrying the weight of the job, a military family navigating the challenges of service, a teenager trying to make sense of a complicated world, or an adult simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to listen, without judgment, and help you take the next step forward.
