Background and approach
His style centers on listening first and building a respectful, compassionate space. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and values, not a one-size plan.

He has experience with substance recovery, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related struggles, and he offers practical coaching when change goals are part of the work.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited for online work
Gottman Method-informed ideas can help people understand patterns in their close relationships and learn practical skills for improving communication and reducing conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building flexible action despite difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connections and supports developing safer, more predictable ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to find methods that fit each person. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so the plan stays practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing reflections, homework, or quick coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
