I think a lot about how our relationships shape our lives. This includes relationships with partners, family, friends, and, most importantly, ourselves. I provide a safe, open, and empathetic space for those I work with to connect with their most authentic selves as they grow, heal, and thrive. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life who are navigating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, and a variety of other life challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking to identify obstacles, set goals, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I lean toward an integrative, psychodynamic approach to therapy and incorporate attachment-based theories, mindfulness practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in my work with clients. I have completed Level 1 and Level 2 IFS training through the IFS Institute, with my Level 2 training focused on Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), an IFS-based approach to couples therapy. I am also trained in Somatic & Attachment-Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR, which I incorporate when appropriate to help clients work through trauma and other difficult experiences. My instincts steer toward Eastern approaches to help you through crisis and a variety of mental health challenges. I am also eager to dig deeper as you approach and overcome challenges from the perspective that feels most natural to you.

In working with clients, I draw on a unique background of professional and life experience. I have been a woodworker, editor, book publisher, and business owner for 20+ years. When not spending time with clients, I enjoy working on our small family farm with my wife and children.
