He is a LMHC and a LPC with seven years of clinical experience and works from Pennsylvania. He focuses on practical steps that help reduce anxiety, manage mood struggles, and navigate relationship and career pressures.

He centers sessions on building awareness and using skills that fit each person’s life. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and repair important connections.

He describes his stance as compassionate and genuine, with an emphasis on acceptance and steady progress. He aims to help people find clearer direction, rebuild self-esteem, and recover a sense of choice in everyday life. His background includes two master’s degrees and varied life and vocational experience that inform his practical style.

How his approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for life transitions, midlife concerns, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed each other and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Emotionally-Focused ideas emphasize understanding and naming feelings and improving how people reconnect in relationships and close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, day-to-day life, and comfort level. He balances skills practice, mindfulness, and reflective conversation so people can test what helps and adjust as they go.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep continuity when schedules change. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or flexible timing when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and home practice to a remote setting so the work stays practical and focused.
