He often supports clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction recovery, chronic pain and illness, and challenges around intimacy and relationships.

Background and approach

His background includes years working with individuals in crisis, extended experience with addiction treatment, and many years focused on grief and loss.

He taught psychology at the college level and served as an academic advisor, experiences that inform a thoughtful, educational approach to care.

Practical Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while exploring their values and choices. This approach supports people dealing with grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm by centering their experience and preferences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, addiction-related patterns, and coping with chronic pain by teaching concrete skills for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their goals and situation. Treatment plans are shaped by the client's needs, progress, and preferences so that techniques are adjusted over time.

Online therapy makes those collaborative methods more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats offer scheduling flexibility and allow people to continue consistent work from home or while traveling, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access support when life is busy.
