My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.
My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.
I work with people who are thoughtful and self-aware, but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. You might find yourself caught between who you are and who you feel you’re “supposed” to be—driven more by pressure or anxiety than by a clear sense of what actually feels right. In our work together, the focus is on helping you understand yourself more deeply while also creating meaningful change. Sessions are active and collaborative, often incorporating humor and metaphor, with a balance of insight and practical movement forward. I draw from relational cultural theory, narrative therapy, and solution-focused approaches, adapting to what feels most helpful for you. My work is trauma-informed and identity-affirming, and I approach your story with curiosity, care, and respect. As a cis, queer man from the evangelical South, I bring lived insight into how power, privilege, and systems shape identity and mental health. I’m mindful of how these dynamics can show up both in your life and in the therapy room. Over time, clients often feel more grounded in who they are, more confident in their choices, and better able to move through uncertainty without losing themselves. If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free consultation to talk through what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit.
As a therapist, I have a calming presence. My work with you begins from this place of inner calm, and a deep knowing that in the midst of all the pain and suffering in life all is truly well. My role as your therapist is to compassionately and non-judgmentally guide you on your quest to ease your pain and suffering, heal your wounds, and call home your lost soul parts. With understanding and acceptance, I guide you in your search to discover your own place of inner calm, and your own loving, joyous, peaceful center within where you are your authentic self. To guide you on your way I use a framework of exploration, gaining insight, and taking action.
My goal is to provide counseling, psychotherapy and treatment for individuals, couples and families struggling with a variety of psychological and mental health issues including stress, relationships, marital problems, depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol, eating disorders, learning disability attention problems etc... As the Coordinator of Campus Alcohol and Substance Awareness at Temple University and as the past Assistant Director of Student Health and Counseling at The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia I have a lot of experience working with clients facing all the above issues and more. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process where clients sort out their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of who they are. My approach is eclectic or integrative but I use many psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work. I trust that clients know deep down what should be talked about in therapy and that they mostly need help knowing how to access these thoughts and feelings in order to realize what it is they want and need from others and their lives. I am very open to sharing my personal thoughts and experiences as a way of helping others. I find that it often helps patients to know that their therapist is a human being too and much can be learned from the relationship of therapy. Many clients come to a therapists office because they struggling in their relationships. Paying attention to how your relationship develops with your therapist can help you understand how the really important relationships in your life outside of the therapeutic relationship work.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care across the lifespan. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in a variety of health care settings. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related disorders, PTSD, grief and loss, mood disorders, ADHD, and other behavioral health concerns. I understand that these conditions can affect every aspect of a person's life—from relationships and work performance to self-esteem, motivation, and overall well-being.
Relationships are an essential part of our existence as humans. Whether it’s friendship, romance, or family that’s causing you to question yourself, experience anxiety, or feel overwhelmed, it’s important to ask intentional questions and find meaning in the experience. This is where I come in. I believe that the connection we forge as client and therapist is a powerful tool in achieving your goals. I want to hear everything you have to tell me, and will offer an open, unbiased, nonjudgmental presence to help you heal. I have experience working with women living through anxiety and grief. The meaning we make of events determines our perspective. It doesn’t matter how momentous or insignificant the things we’re wrestling with seem - they can still have a tremendous impact on our understanding of ourselves and the world. My goal is to help you sift through the thoughts and feelings you have so that you can keep what is helpful and discard what is not. We’ll be examining unhelpful beliefs, critical thoughts, or unrealistic expectations. This deep, purposeful work will help you shape the meaning of your life. My job is not to fix you or load you up with advice. I let you bring whatever is concerning you to our sessions. Through various techniques like mindfulness, thought-challenging, and building awareness of your emotions you’ll learn how to cope with the things that are overwhelming you. Often we react - and it's unhelpful. I'll work to help you create a space within yourself to choose a response that's helpful. I will gently guide you through the tough experiences you are having by equipping you to face them while reserving the space you need to process them.
A healthy mind is the best predictor of a happy life! I am passionate about helping people find happiness and develop the capacity to treat themselves with kindness, connect with others, and find purpose in their life. I have an active style and have developed a "healthy mind approach" to helping. This means we focus on feeling resilient, stable, strong, balanced, and happier rather than on mental illness. In this process, we will determine what gives you a sense of well-being and happiness. I will then support and teach strategies for strengthening positive feelings and mind-states. This may be in the form of mindfulness practices, brain-based tools, strategies for connecting with others or finding a greater purpose. For grieving people, I help address the most difficult symptoms while processing the loss and returning to a sense of balance and hope. I am an experienced and mature therapist with work experience, training, and personal history that qualifies me for this important work.

If you’re someone who appears to “have it all together” on the outside while privately struggling with the weight of life's challenges on the inside, you don't have to go through it alone.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique experience.

Together, we’ll create practical tools and insights that fit your goals, values, and day-to-day life. Reaching out for support is a meaningful first step. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move toward building the life you want.

Connection in relationship is as important for us as food and water. When relationships weaken or rupture, mental health challenges can emerge.

I am trained in evidence-based approaches that support trauma recovery and help strengthen relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and my goal is to help clients create meaning, deepen connection, and move toward healing in their lives. At the heart of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful catalyst for change. Every person’s story is unique, and I approach each client with hope, curiosity, and deep respect for their experiences. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll build trust, explore difficult emotions and patterns, and make space for new insight and growth. While I can’t promise specific outcomes, I can promise to walk alongside you, working toward greater connection with yourself and the people who matter most to you.
