He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue, and he also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, first responder issues, post-traumatic stress, panic disorder, process and sex addictions, and questions about life purpose.

His practice emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.
