(He/Him/His)
Psychologist
I aim to provide all of our clients with a safe and comfortable space to begin their journey towards healing.
A trusting and comfortable relationship is key to success in therapy. I've been practicing in Arizona for nearly a decade and have worked with a wide array of clients from children, adolescents, young adults, and those in later stages of life. I take a client tailored, or eclectic, approach to providing therapy, largely grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, and other various therapy interventions. Aside from child and adolescent therapy, I specialize in Men's Issues, trauma, and personal development or growth. My practice is actively accepting new clients and we can often offer same or next week start dates for your initial session. Our private waiting room is complete with guest Wi-Fi and we invite you to enjoy the complimentary numerous coffee/tea beverages in the community area or grab a water/juice box from the fridge in our waiting room. The journey to healing can seem intimidating, but you don't have to do it alone.
