He has worked extensively with parents in order to help them create structure and discipline to improve family life and children and parent relationships.

“I have had the opportunity to experience therapy from both perspective-as the client on the couch as well as the therapist in the chair. This has shown me the importance of a warm, caring, supportive, and encouraging therapist relationship that I strive to create in the therapeutic environment with my clients.”
