I have a Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and specialize in working individually with adolescent boys and men, as well as couples. Beyond therapy, I've been a filmmaker, entrepreneur, corporate executive, college football player, meditator, and surfer. 

As a therapist, my goal is to create an environment in which you feel you can share whatever thoughts and feelings you are experiencing, no matter how distressing. I believe through the process of growing an openness to and acceptance of these thoughts and feelings, you will have the opportunity to know and accept yourself. Each person has their own path toward this knowing of self. Our work together is discovering which path makes the most sense to you.

As a couples therapist, I am trained in emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I safely guide partners as they uncover the patterns that cause their distress and understand the emotions beneath the hurt. By slowing down and identifying our defenses, we have the opportunity to communicate to one another how we can feel securely bonded in our relationships.
