“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” -Viktor Frankl
With a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to mental well-being, I specialize in helping adults navigate the challenges of depression, anxiety, and grief. I focus on empowering individuals to not only enhance their mental health but also find immediate relief through practical solutions and tangible action steps. I have extensive experience working with first-responders and individuals in the education field, providing them with tailored support to address the unique pressures and stresses they face.
I blend my love for music and the outdoors with my therapeutic practice, by incorporating music therapy and ecotherapy into treatment. My passion for music enriches sessions, offering clients an additional avenue for expression and healing, while my appreciation for nature informs the use of ecotherapy to foster relaxation and connection with the environment. Additionally, I work to integrate existentialism into sessions, drawing on philosophical insights to help clients explore meaning and purpose in their lives.
I emphasize a collaborative approach, working closely with clients to identify their unique needs and develop effective coping strategies. By providing concrete tools and actionable steps, I help clients experience relief today while fostering long-term resilience and personal growth.
Beyond the therapy room, I am an avid traveler, I find inspiration in new cultures and experiences. When I’m not working, I can often be found playing guitar and spending time with my wife and our golden retriever. As a keen reader of philosophy, I delight in exploring how philosophical ideas can be applied to everyday life, further enriching my approach to therapy.
