Before becoming a marriage and family therapist, I spent years immersed in the art world; working as a reproduction specialist and collaborating with galleries across the globe. That chapter of my life sharpened my creativity, my eye for detail, and my ability to bridge communication across cultures and perspectives. But more than anything, it gave me a deep respect for process, how meaning, like healing, is often built in layers.

Now, as the founder of Relational Connecting Therapy (ReCT), I bring that same curiosity and commitment to the therapy room. I’ve spent years developing a systemic, emotionally grounded framework that helps individuals, couples, and families move through pain, disconnection, and relational stuckness with more clarity and confidence. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, communication breakdown, or generational trauma, I want them to feel seen, not just as a diagnosis, but as a whole person shaped by their story and their system.

As a father of five, I’ve walked through adoption, divorce, blended family life, career reinvention, and the deeply human moments of feeling lost or inadequate. Life has humbled me, stretched me, and refined my understanding of what connection really means. I don’t have all the answers but I do believe in walking with people toward something better.

I’m also a proud supporter of our military and the families who serve. As the father of a dedicated airman, I understand the sacrifices involved, and I offer discounts to veterans and military personnel as a token of my respect. Thank you for your service, and for the strength you carry every day.

I’m currently working on a book that explores the core ideas behind Relational Connecting Therapy, with the hope of completing it in 2025. It’s a reflection of what I’ve learned through years of listening, sitting with pain, and believing that people are more than just their symptoms.

You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy with me isn’t just about insight; it’s about building something new. Together.
