About the Therapist

A practical, grounded approach for meaningful change.

As a former competitive athlete, a Marine Corp veteran, and a restaurateur with 15 years in hospitality, I know from experience how important prioritizing mental health can be.

During the COVID lockdowns I convinced myself that I’d lost both my livelihood and sense of purpose as I saw restaurants and bars shutter their doors to the public. Through my own therapy journey, I discovered my issues didn’t just precede my professional ambitions—they were hiding behind them. Only when I allowed myself to sit with the discomfort and answer the hard questions, was I able to find myself and a new way of being.

Now as a licensed clinician, I have found purpose in serving those seeking to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the adversities they face.
