My goals as a clinician are to offer understanding, support, and genuine compassion as my clients work through issues including trauma, addiction, stress management, anger, depression, and family and other relationship dynamics. I am a Sandpoint native, and I love living and working here with my wife, Kristal, and our four beautiful children. I am passionate about working with individuals and families through one-on-one, couples, and group approaches. While I am a Christian, I incorporate a wide range of secular and other spiritual practices into my daily walk and my approach to counseling. I hold a Doctorate of Law from the University of Idaho and a Master's Degree in Social Work through the University of Southern California. I believe in meeting my clients where they are in their lives, and that we all benefit when we have safe places to share and grow together. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am also an EMDRIA Trained EMDR Therapist.
