With over 16 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping men work through the challenges that often feel hardest to talk about—relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, work stress, and substance use. My approach is practical, supportive, and tailored to the unique pressures men face in today’s world. For 13 years, I served as a clinician with the Department of the Army and the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I worked extensively with service members, veterans, and their families on issues of resilience, trauma, and transition. I know from both professional and personal experience how difficult it can be for men to reach out for help. That’s why I place the highest priority on building a safe, trusting, and judgment-free space where you can be honest, work through struggles, and find real solutions. Whether you’re dealing with painful events, ongoing stress, or long-standing emotional difficulties, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and strength.

I treat OCD, Trichotillomania, Dermatillomania, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Hoarding, Tics, Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma (using EMDR) in adults, children, and adolescents. I have taken all advanced training offered by the International OCD Foundation to train therapists to CORRECTLY treat the OCD spectrum of disorders. I have attended 6 Annual OCD conferences and have been trained at these conferences by the foremost researchers, professors, and authors of the OCD books written in the past 25 years. I use the Evidence-Based treatment of Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) to treat OCD. It is my greatest joy to watch my patients improve as a result of using the evidence-based treatments that I have been thoroughly trained in. Many people struggling with OCD who come to my practice have often seen 5-15 providers who claim they know how to treat OCD, but in fact they do not know how to treat using ERP, and the person is still struggling. This is due to the fact that ALTHOUGH OCD IS AN ANXIETY-RELATED DISORDER, IT IS NOT TREATED THE SAME WAY AS WE TREAT OTHER ANXIETY. INSTEAD, A THERAPIST THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN ERP IS REQUIRED TO TREAT OCD PROPERLY." It is a chronic illness that is very treatable using ERP.
