About

Men and boys often feel pressure to be strong, stay quiet, and handle challenges on their own. I provide a space where strength includes emotional awareness, clear communication, and personal growth.

I work with males ages 5 through older adulthood who want to better manage stress, improve relationships, build confidence, and develop practical tools for everyday life. My approach is collaborative, direct, and goal-oriented—focused on real e hskills like emotional regulation, accountability, healthy coping, and effective communication.

With experience in home-based, school, residential, foster care, and correctional settings, I understand how environment and life experiences shape behavior. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strength-based, person-centered therapy, I help clients build awareness, shift patterns, and create lasting change.

If you’re ready to grow, lead yourself well, and show up stronger for the people in your life, let’s get started.
