About

During my over twenty-five years of practice, I have worked with individuals from many diverse backgrounds in different stages of life. This experience is invaluable as I work with you to establish an open and therapeutic relationship. I also bring a wealth of experience working with adolescents, particularly those with ASD. Everyone must start somewhere. Paying close attention to what is important to you, I will meet you where you are. I offer a non-judgmental, supportive environment that values transparency and humor. I will focus on helping you achieve the goals that you and I develop together. I hope to foster recovery, growth and change while using a person-centered approach dedicated to trust, authenticity, and encouragement. I consider it a privilege to partner with you and make a difference. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing guitar, listening to music, nature hikes with his family’s two dogs –Zoey and Frankie—and watching documentaries.
