I'm a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) with a Ph.D. and deep roots in sociology and social work. Over my career, I've learned that meeting people where they are—without judgment—is foundational to meaningful change. As a parent and father myself, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding to the work. I help individuals, couples, families, and groups navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you're managing chronic pain, working through a blended family dynamic, exploring open relationships, or facing anger and impulsivity, I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems work, motivational interviewing, and strength-based practice. I'm committed to culturally sensitive, multicultural care that honors your unique story. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions. I'm currently accepting new clients and look forward to working with you.
