Hello there! If you’re reading this, you might be exploring whether therapy could be a helpful next step. I hope that, as you get to know me a bit, you’ll get a sense of whether I might be a good fit for you.
My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t straightforward. I began in the corporate world and later moved into ministry, where I spent time sitting with people who carried emotional and spiritual burdens. Over time, I noticed how much people longed for a space to slow down, reflect, and ask meaningful questions about who they are and how they want to live. I realized this was the work I felt called toward: helping people pay closer attention to their inner world with honesty and compassion. Becoming a therapist became a natural next step in that calling.
I work primarily with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, men’s issues, life transitions, unwanted sexual behavior, faith-related concerns, marital difficulties, and other related concerns. Over time, I’ve seen clients make progress–anxiety and depression becoming more manageable, habits shifting, and relationships finding firmer footing. These shifts don’t happen quickly, but with honest work and consistency, I have seen real change take shape. My role is to come alongside you as you sort through what is unclear or unresolved and begin building patterns that support greater stability, freedom, and wholeness. For clients who desire it, I also offer thoughtful, informed care from a Christian perspective.
While I work with both men and women, I have a particular interest in supporting young men navigating life transitions, questions of purpose, identity in their masculinity, and vocational pressures, especially in a cultural moment where many men feel discouraged, misunderstood, or unsure how to grow into the kind of man they hope to become.
A bit about me: I’m married and have lived in Chicago for a few years. I enjoy serving in my church, spending time outdoors, being at the gym, reading a good book, and getting coffee or playing card games with friends. Quiet rhythms of prayer, meditation, and study help me stay connected in my relationship with God.
In graduate school, I completed master’s degrees in both Mental Health Counseling and Theological Studies. I care deeply about integrating psychology with a robust theology of the human experience. I also write regularly about these intersections and broader topics related to mental health and faith on Substack.
If my approach resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect and discuss what you’re looking for, as well as answer any questions you may have. Feel free to contact me below.
