About Me: I’m a happily married man enjoying the “empty nest” chapter of life. Our kids visit frequently, but they are busy creating their own fabulous adventures. That means we have more time for our adventures, which generally involve travel or food, or at the best of times, both! Whether exploring new cuisines or new cities, I find joy in discovery—and that same spirit carries into my work with clients.

In my clinical practice, I really enjoy partnering with people as they make their lives better through brief cognitive behavioral therapy. Life is sometimes hard and occasionally we all get stuck. I love witnessing the moment when someone moves beyond stuckness—when they reconnect with their authentic self and rediscover their capacity to love, grow, and thrive.
