With six years of clinical experience, he helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions while attending to issues such as attachment, blended family challenges, body image, and questions of identity and purpose.

He integrates both modern and postmodern methods to tailor treatment to each person or couple. His practice emphasizes collaborative, client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns. He also employs motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify practical steps forward, and he draws on Jungian perspectives when exploring deeper personal meaning.

He approaches therapy with respect and empathy, aiming to create a thoughtful, goal-oriented process that helps people assess current connections and enhance the quality of their relationships and inner life.
