I’m a dad, a husband, a smartass, a coach, a former athlete, a woodworker, and…somewhere in between all that, a therapist.

I’ve lived through chaos. I’ve rebuilt things that felt wrecked. I’ve screwed up, figured it out, and helped others do the same. I’ve pulled off dumb pranks on my wife, sat in the quiet with my kids, blasted music on long drives when I needed to breathe, and built tables that hold more than dinner…they hold memory and meaning.

That’s the same energy I bring into therapy. Real. Grounded. Human.

You won’t get a polished persona or a therapist voice. You’ll get me. Someone who’s curious about what makes you tick and who gives enough of a shit to walk with you into the stuff most people avoid.

My Style

I specialize in short-term, high-impact therapy that doesn’t waste your time or energy. This is acute stabilization, not endless analysis. We figure out what’s happening, why it’s still hijacking your life, and what we can do about it…now.

I use:

• EMDR to help reprocess old pain so it stops running the show

• Somatic therapy to reconnect you to the body you’ve been dissociating from

• A smattering of CBT, DBT and other various 3 letter therapeutic modalities

Whether you’re dealing with trauma, rage, dissociation, emotional burnout, or just the overwhelming pressure of being a functional adult when your insides are a dumpster fire…I’ve got you.

You’re not a diagnosis. You’re not a checklist. You’re a human trying to stay afloat. Let’s work with that.

Credentials & The Paper Stuff

If you care about the letters (and insurance companies sure as hell do):

• M.Ed. in Counseling – Providence College

• CAGS in Mental Health Counseling – Rhode Island College

• Certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid

• Over 8 years in mental health systems, schools, and crisis response roles

But honestly? The letters didn’t teach me what you’ll get in session. Life did. Coaching did. Parenting did. Therapy that works isn’t built in textbooks…it’s built in moments that matter.

Bottom Line

I do therapy that meets you in real time, in real life.
I will be honest. I will be direct. I will push when needed and hold space when you’re wrecked. I’ll help you stop reacting like everything’s a threat and start living like you have options again.

You won’t always like what I say. That’s okay. You’ll trust that it’s real, and that I’ve got your back while we sort it out.

If that sounds like what you need… let’s get to work.
