I work with individuals, parents and couples, young and old. Each may not know what steps to take to move forward, but the one thing that unifies them all is a desire to change. We want to be smarter, to be a better employee, a better parent, a better partner, or have a better relationship, but there are times when that desire to be better brings out our inner critic. Instead of leading us to growth, it can lead to anxiety, depression, a lack of self-compassion, and a sense of unrest about where we are in life. I want to help you create meaningful change and build the life you want—while learning how to work with, not against, that inner critic. I have a passion for helping people make sense of the complex and difficult situations that come up in life.
I have a background in human development and a degree in couple and family therapy from the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). I’ve been trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and I also draw from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I incorporate many foundational coaching models into my work as well.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family—especially my wife and our 1-year-old daughter, who brings so much joy and perspective to my life. I love playing and following all types of sports and enjoy reading non-fiction, especially self-help, psychology, and history.
