He is primarily trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and also holds a certificate in Grief Therapy. He works primarily with teenagers, young adults, and adults, and values a relational approach that helps clients build and strengthen secure, healthy relationships both inside and outside the therapy setting.His …interests outside of work include reading, watching TV/movies, spending time with friends and family, and being outside, whether that is going on casual hikes or finding new parks to enjoy. He also enjoys finding new restaurants to try out and listening to live music.
