I use a unique blend of Adlerian and Play Therapy approaches to help children, adolescents, and adults of all ages.

I believe that counseling is most effective when it is unique and personal to the clients' interests. I am extremely passionate about linking those interests into the counseling process to help facilitate change. I use play techniques such as artistic expression, sand trays, puppets, and much more to help clients learn, feel, and grow.

For many of my clients who find interest and connection to books and games, I have written personalized stories and table top role play games to explore in session together. These custom-created stories and games encourage movement towards their therapeutic goals. This is not only fun for myself and the client but has proved to open up incredible avenues for growth.

When I’m not counseling, I enjoy being goofy with my wife and two children, playing sports, strumming on the ukulele, writing stories, drawing, playing tabletop role playing games, and eating spicy food.

One of my favorite quotes:

“At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.”
