If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I appreciate people's personal stories, making deep, meaningful connections with others, and working with clients to live more meaningful lives. I am father of two children, enjoy songwriting, reading books about philosophy and spirituality, and have a strong interest in social justice issues.
EXPERIENCE
My primary training has been in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I completed a pre-doctoral internship at the VA Northern California Health Care System and completed a post-doctoral residency at the VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Coralville, IA. I have been in private practice since 2016. You can find my research and record of publications at ResearchGate.
