I am passionate about helping couples navigate difficult times in their lives.
I have helped guide people through tough times since 2009, first as a pastor and now as a therapist. I have experience in a variety of therapy settings including public mental health, inpatient hospitals, college campuses, and private practice.
​
I was ordained as an Elder (Pastor) in the United Methodist Church in 2013. I have served as a youth minister, college age director, worship leader, and Bible Study leader for all ages.
​
I have been married since 2009 to my amazing wife, Alina. We have two incredible children and two golden doodles. I love to cook, host friends and family, watch sports, go to the theatre, travel, and play my PS5.
"For me, being a counselor is
a calling. I am passionate about what I do."
