I grew up here in Kootenai County, North Idaho, surrounded by the same mountains, lakes, and tight-knit communities that have shaped much of who I am today. Over the past decade, my work with youth and families in Idaho and Washington, whether in residential treatment, community mental health, schools, or private practice, has been a journey of learning, listening, and growing alongside the people I serve.

Through those experiences, I’ve seen how resilience can take root even in the hardest seasons, and how hope can be nurtured through genuine connection and practical support. My counseling approach blends professional training with the lessons life has taught me as a husband and father in a blended family, lessons about navigating change, building trust, and finding balance in a world that often feels fast and loud.

I believe healing happens best when we work together. In our time together, my aim is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, where you can explore challenges without judgment, gain practical tools for daily life, and take meaningful steps toward your goals.
