ABOUT ME

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to create a nonjudgmental and safe environment where you can process your life openly and honestly. My hope is that you feel deeply rooted in the relationships that matter most to you — and that together, we can help you build that sense of connection, understanding, and belonging.

I work with individuals and couples who want to improve their relationships with others or themselves. Using a warm, collaborative approach, I help clients better understand their emotional cycles and create lasting change in how they relate to themselves and others. In our sessions, we’ll explore the emotions, motivations, and behaviors that shape your interactions. I’ll highlight your strengths and gently challenge the patterns that keep you stuck. Humor, authenticity, and compassion are always part of the process.

I have received advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which emphasizes the power of authentic emotion as a tool for healing and connection. Together, we’ll uncover the purpose behind each emotion and learn how to express it safely and meaningfully. I’ve also completed Level 1 and Level 2 Training in the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, which offers practical tools to deepen friendship and intimacy, manage conflict productively, and appreciate your relationship’s unique strengths.

As a graduate of Brigham Young University and St. Mary’s University, I witnessed firsthand how social science and faith intersect. My faith is a driving force in my life and a key reason I became a counselor. Because of this, I’m open to integrating your faith — wherever you are in your journey — into the therapeutic process, if that’s something you value.

Outside of private practice, I work as a school counselor for NEISD, where I lead groups focused on social-emotional skills and anger management. In my free time, I enjoy life with my wife, our three kids, and our golden retriever. I’m active in my church community, love a good cooking competition on Food Network, and can often be found playing pickleball — you might say I enjoy being “in the kitchen,” while also staying out of it.
