*** Will be personally supervised by Annabella Hagen, Clinical Director ***

I firmly believe that change is possible for everyone. In my own life, I have experienced the value of a trusted witness share in my journey, and I'm humbled to be able to be that person for others. I hope to create an open and collaborative space where healing can come through self-discovery and insight. I believe the real answers come from the client, and strive to maintain that focus in my practice.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and families. I resonate with Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) and Family Systems Therapy (FST). I believe exploring an individual’s experience in relation to their family network is both key to a deeper understanding of pain and dysfunction, and a place where lasting change and healing can occur. I will also utilize principles and skills from other evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help individuals overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, OCD and other emotional and behavioral concerns.

I am also on the way to becoming Gottman Certified. My experiences also include serving as a youth educator for over 700 students, a bilingual crisis counselor, and as a research assistant.

I get to follow my passion in large part because of my wonderful wife who holds down the fort at home with our two boys. We love to cook together, me always being the sous-chef! When I get a spare moment, I love playing anything with a racquet/paddle and love a good book or an evening spent at a live sporting event.
