Before becoming a marriage and family therapist, I spent years immersed in the art world, working as a reproduction specialist and collaborating with galleries worldwide. That chapter of my life sharpened my creativity, my attention to detail, and my respect for process, how meaning, like healing, is often built in layers rather than all at once.

Today, I bring that same curiosity and care into the therapy room. My work focuses on helping individuals and couples understand what happens when emotions run high, communication breaks down, and familiar patterns take over. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet frustrated that insight alone hasn’t been enough to change what keeps repeating.

As a father of five, I’ve lived through adoption, divorce, blended family life, career reinvention, and the deeply human moments of feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of myself. Those experiences shape how I show up as a therapist. I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as individuals and couples navigating complex systems, histories, and relationships.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded in understanding patterns rather than assigning blame. I care deeply about helping people feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward stronger, more stable connections, both with others and with themselves.

I’m also a proud supporter of our military and military families. As the father of an active-duty airman, I understand the sacrifices involved and offer discounted services to veterans and military personnel as a small gesture of respect.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns you don’t fully understand yet, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy with me isn’t just about insight; it’s about building something new, at a pace that feels manageable.
