About My Clients
I specialize in addressing issues such as infidelity, relationship and trust repair, mismatched desire, and men’s sexual and mental health. I understand the unique challenges that men face in addressing sexual and mental health issues. My dedication to this work stems from a strong desire to offer a space for men to access therapy while breaking down the shame and stigma they may experience due to cultural and societal messaging. As a gay man, I am especially passionate about working with the LG
My Background and Approach
I earned my Master’s in Couple and Family Therapy from Adler University in Chicago where I also completed specialized coursework and training to earn a Certificate in Sex Therapy. I previously earned my Bachelor’s in Professional Aviation from Minnesota State University. After recognizing that my passion for flying was better suited as a hobby than a career, I decided to return to school. Being a therapist is a natural fit, aligning well with my curiosity to learn from those who are different from me and connect with them on a deeper level. In my practice, I use Narrative Therapy, emphasizing the importance of sharing each individual's stories. Understanding what happened, why it happened, and exploring ways to align future actions with personal values are crucial for growth. Emotionally Focused Therapy plays a significant role in this process, as emotions are integral to our experiences, yet often de-emphasized in our society.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that the catalyst for change lies in acknowledging aspects of your life that may no longer serve you. This recognition, along with a genuine desire for change, provides a strong foundation for your collaborative journey. Drawing on diverse perspectives and each person’s unique lived experiences, my role is to guide you toward not just believing but envisioning the effectiveness of the solutions we co-create. Together, we’ll identify a path toward meaningful and sustainable change with clear goals and tangible steps, where you feel empowered to take action.
