There isn’t a cookie-cutter approach to therapy. I have learned and gained an appreciation of this throughout my experiences that every person is unique and has their own story to tell. I view each client through this lens and treat each client as an individual. I approach therapy with each client through a strength-based perspective that focuses on the client’s strengths, experiences, and successes. My approach to therapy is shaped directly by the needs and goals of each client rather than being prescriptive. I work together with each client to reach their goals for therapy and ultimately a more fulfilling and rewarding life.
I have been involved in the mental health field professionally for over 9 years in various capacities and roles. I have worked with adolescents and adults in numerous settings, including inpatient behavioral health, adolescent residential treatment, juvenile justice services, emergency department social work, and outpatient therapy.
A little bit about me – I was born and raised in Southern California but moved to Utah in 2011. I enjoy tinkering, figuring out how things work, and continually learning. I am huge into technology, and I am currently working on creating the ultimate smart home. My wife is an nurse and we have a little Parti Yorkie named Max who rounds out our family.
