From my background in Emergency Medical Care to my education in intercultural studies, I draw on a wide range of diverse life experiences to serve clients. I am enrolled in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Wheaton College. I use EMDR, Non-directive Play therapy techniques, IFS, Adlerian Play therapy, and other trauma-informed approaches in my work.

I have been married for 12 years. I am in a cross-cultural marriage, so I have experienced its ups and downs! I am neurodiverse, and I am the father of three neurodiverse children, which has enriched my experience working with ADHD and other neurodiverse brains.

I offer a compassionate, attachment-based approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether supporting a child through emotional challenges or helping families and couples navigate conflict, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing and connection can flourish.

Don’t struggle alone anymore. Get the help you and your family need! I would be honored to work with you!
