About Me

Does it feel like the connection that once came so naturally and easily with your partner has become strained and difficult? Are you struggling to keep your head above water through a particularly trying season of life? I’d love to be a resource for you, someone to walk beside you and ensure that you feel seen, understood and valued as we move together toward healing, peace, and long-term, sustainable fulfillment. 

I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University, and am Gottman Couples Therapy, Level 1 certified. I have also been trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and bring some real life experience as a 46-year-old, and a husband of 16 years to my amazing wife. I am passionate about helping couples shed the unhelpful patterns so many of us were raised with, and learn instead the language of connection. As a devoted follower of Christ, I seek to provide excellent clinical therapy that integrates God’s loving encouragement and hope as part of the therapeutic process. 

Off the Clock

I love perusing local record stores, watching classic movies (especially film noir), and making music with my talented wife.
