My Ideal Client

I started my career in mood disorder research before focusing on clinical practice. Over the last decade I have worked with underserved populations, individuals with intellectual disabilities, the general adult population, and undergraduate and graduate level students. I have expertise in mood disorders, particularly depression, bipolar and anxiety disorders. I am especially passionate about working with young adults, having dedicated 10 years to supporting students while working at a universit

My Approach to Helping

Today, my approach blends modalities and is always built on a collaborative foundation. This includes integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with medication management to help patients on their way to achieving balance and growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Outside of work you’ll likely find me in one of a few places. I value the time I can spend with the people I care about the most. To that end, I spend most of my free time at home with my wife, daughter, dogs, and cats. I also enjoy being active and love the ritual of going to the gym. Otherwise, you might find me preoccupied with brewing the perfect cup of coffee.
