About me

With 10+ yrs. as a licensed therapist and 15+ yrs. working in the human services field, I have assisted many individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I have extensive experience working in a variety of settings. Settings have included private practice, non-profit organizations, in-home therapy, therapeutic group homes, and juvenile & adult detention centers. In each setting, I’ve assisted clients through life’s positions that are not planned on being in, and yet find ourselves in.

I believe in a holistic approach to wellness in which a healthy mind, body, and soul lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. I look to strengthen the core of each individual and couple to be able to strive, not just survive, through difficult moments. I provide tools and resources for short-term and long-term growth. The hardest and yet one of the more alleviating steps a client can take is the first step to reach out. As a partner in the therapeutic process, I meet each session with support and commitment.

The best therapist I have ever had!

Written on Jul 27, 2023 after therapy with Ian for 2 years and 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, and sleeping disorders

I've only had 1 session so far but Ian was very helpful

Ian is so great to work with! He’s helped me through big challenges and small ones and shapes each session depending on exactly what I want to focus on. He listens intently with no judgment, makes me feel comfortable and provides tools to help me through difficult situations and to help me grow as a person. Sometimes I just need to vent my feelings even if there is no “solution” and he provides me a safe place to do that as well. I cannot recommend Ian enough!

Ian does a phenomenal job with his therapy practice. He is kind, flexible. down for all of my stories. Gives me great feedback and is a great mirror to me. He challenges me every session, but does so with kindness and clarity. He does a great job with creating a safe space for me as well as holds me accountable to my better self.
