I believe your time is one of your most valuable resources. When you choose to spend an hour in therapy with me, it should be meaningful and active. That’s why I approach each session as an opportunity for insight, growth, healing, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Our bodies can lie to us, making us want to run toward what we think is safety, overthink, hide, or get frustrated and angry when life gets hard. Just because something feels safe doesn’t mean it actually is. I help clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and nervous systems, creating opportunities for lasting growth and healing.

Life can feel overwhelming in one season and full of possibility in the next. Wherever you find yourself today, therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and intention. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

I am humorous, warm, curious, collaborative, and direct. I value authenticity and believe that meaningful change happens when there is both genuine connection and honest conversation. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, challenged when needed, and supported as you work toward the life you want to live.

My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped not only by professional training and ongoing education, but also by life experience. I’m a husband, father, entrepreneur, and former corporate construction professional. Along the way, I’ve experienced many of the same challenges my clients face—including the pressures of demanding careers, burnout, parenting, relationship struggles, grief and loss, adoption, chronic illness, and neurodivergence. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how complex life can be and how important it is to have support during difficult seasons.

After a 20-year career in corporate construction management working with Fortune 500 companies, I found myself asking a question that many people face at some point in life: “Is this the work I want to spend the rest of my life doing?” Through my own experience in therapy, I discovered a desire for work that felt more meaningful, purposeful, and connected to helping others. That journey ultimately led me to become a therapist.

When I'm not pursuing therapy, I am just a regular guy in my 40s who has made the South Bay home his whole life.  When not spending time with my wife and children, I am obsessed with the fun, frustration, and friendships of golf, sneaking in trips to relax in the mountains, and insisting he still ride a skateboard, snowboard, and surfboard like he is 18 and overjoyed with the opportunity to help others with their journey.
