As a licensed clinical therapist, my focus on developing and nurturing relationships with my clients, to help them reach their goals. My approach is to treat the whole person, which includes a holistic approach with the understanding that oftentimes mental health difficulties co-occur simultaneously and impact one another. I specialize in helping people overcome their struggles with depression, anxiety, couples counseling, family therapy, substance use and trauma.
My training and approach include Evidence-Based Practices designed to help people change the way they think, which can effectively change the world around them. These techniques combined with a strong sense of empathy and a strengths-based approach have allowed me to help my clients realize their full potential.
I have a Master’s degree in Social work from Saint Louis University, where I graduated as part of the Phi Alpha Honor Society. I am fully licensed as a Clinical Social Worker, and possess Co-Occurring Disorders and Medication Assisted Recovery certifications. I enjoy playing music and spending my time with my wife and two sons.
