Before becoming a marriage therapist, I spent years working in the art world, both as a reproduction specialist and collaborating with art galleries across the globe. This experience in the non-clinical side of the arts helped me develop a unique skill set in conflict resolution and communication, especially across cultures and differing beliefs. It also fostered a mindset of curiosity, which I carry with me into my work today.

As a father of five, I have navigated the complexities of adoption, divorce, career transitions, and the challenge of balancing personal growth while occasionally wrestling with feelings of inadequacy. Life is full of obstacles, and I’ve stumbled many times along the way. The one thing I’ve learned, however, is that while much of my journey was traveled alone, you don’t have to face your challenges by yourself.

I’m also a proud supporter of our military and the families that serve. As the father of a dedicated airman, I understand the sacrifices made by our armed forces, and I offer discounts to veterans and military personnel as a token of my gratitude. To those who serve and their families, thank you—not only for your service, but for the strength and commitment you give every day.
