You are probably wondering a few things about me…
Do I know what I’m doing?
Yes. I’ve spent more than 20 years working in the mental health field, and along the way, I’ve learned that good therapy requires more than knowing theories or having a list of credentials. It requires experience, curiosity, humility, and the ability to meet people where they are.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). I provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations and work with individuals, couples, and families around concerns including ADHD, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Over the years, I’ve worked with people from many different backgrounds and with very different challenges. That experience has taught me that there is rarely a one-size-fits-all answer. My job is to listen carefully, understand what is really happening, and help you develop practical strategies that fit your life—not simply hand you a textbook solution.
I also serve as an Adjunct Professor at Touro University Worldwide, where I work with graduate and doctoral learners in the Marriage and Family Therapy Department. I also supervise therapists working toward licensure, which is another part of my work that I genuinely enjoy. Teaching and supervision keep me learning, thinking critically, and staying connected to the evolving field of mental health.
I take my work seriously—but I also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff, intimidating, or overly clinical. You can expect honesty, compassion, a little humor when appropriate, and a genuine commitment to helping you understand what’s going on and move toward the changes you want to make.
So, yes—I know what I’m doing. But I also know that you are the expert on your own life, and my job is to work alongside you.
Who Am I as a provider?
As a provider I strive to be respectful, open, honest and transparent. I work hard in my job and expect the same from my clients.
I am a husband and parent. I grew up in Northcentral Pennsylvania and have lived in multiple parts of the state (and the country). I enjoy my work supporting others. At the same time I know it is important to take care of myself. You can find me hiking on a trail, walking my dogs, and or working out in the gym. I do these things so I can be there for my clients.
