I am an intern psychotherapist currently completing my clinical internship. I believe that engagement in therapy takes courage, which will be honoured in our work together. I aim to create a welcoming space where you feel emboldened to overcome the challenges you will face along your path towards healing.

I am an Afghanistan war veteran, a humanitarian, and a public-school teacher. With my history of aiding others, working in the field of mental health is a natural next step. My background in military service, emergency management, crisis response, and public education led me to understand the stresses involved in serving others before self.

You may feel anxious or awkward when considering seeking help. You may come from a social or professional environment where there is significant stigma around mental health, or the idea of having a therapist feels like a sign of weakness. I have been there myself; do not worry, those feelings are completely normal. To my own realization, seeking therapy is a sign of strength.

Outside of my therapist role, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, engaging in nature-based activities, and reading an epic sci-fi space opera. When working together, I hope to support your ability to manage adversity with confidence, become more adaptive, and genuinely feel improvements in your quality of life. Our work together will be my privilege and treated with honour.
