One of the most meaningful aspects of my work is helping individuals discover their exceptional qualities, embracing who they truly are, and blossoming fully into themselves. It takes time, commitment, and an openness to self-growth to pursue therapy and I am grateful that you are considering working with me. My style is holistic and individualized, integrating person-centered approaches, positive psychology, motivational interviewing, inner child work, with a rich experience with Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

I work with men, women, gender non-conforming individuals, couples and parents, and children/teens aged 10 and up. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who identify as neurodivergent or couples in which one or both people identify as neurologically diverse. Experiencing autism and ADHD in a very neurotypical society can be challenging. Having my own history with ADHD, I am honored to help clients and their families through coping skills, self-acceptance, and confidence building. I regularly run Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) roleplaying workshops with many populations including neurodiverse clients. In addition, my role as a father in a blended family and being blissfully married to a therapist, has driven me in the direction of couples’ work and teaching others how to nurture and care for their primary relationship.

After a 20 year career in business, I felt called to pursue work that aligned more deeply with my passion for supporting others’ growth and well-being. I graduated from UC with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on psychology, business, and marketing and a Master of Arts in Social Work. I am also a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I am excited to be part of your healing journey!
