I have had a long and fulfilling career in software development. After some time, I began to feel a sense of emptiness in my career choice. As I reflected on my life goals, I realized that I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. I decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in psychology. Later, I earned a Master’s degree in mental health counseling.

​

As a father of five children, one of whom is a toddler, I have a unique perspective on the challenges and joys of parenting. This experience has given me insight into the issues that families face and helped me better understand and support my clients, who are also parents. I’ve been divorced (and remarried) and have experienced both sides of significant life changes, and I (or think I) “get it.”

​

I work as a psychotherapist in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I specialize in helping couples and individuals navigate issues related to their relationships, sexual concerns, and faith transitions. I am an AASECT-certified sex therapist, and I work extensively with clients to help them address their sexual concerns. In my work with couples, I help them address various situations, including unbalanced libido, sexual dysfunction related to conditions or aging, and the use of erotic material in conflict with moral values. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, desires, and concerns in a supportive and understanding environment.

​

In addition to my work with couples, I also work with individuals struggling with various mental health and well-being issues. I focus on helping clients develop the skills and strategies to manage their mental health effectively and improve their overall quality of life.

As a certified psychotherapist who specializes in psychedelic-assisted therapy, I have undergone extensive training and gained significant experience in assisting individuals who use psychedelic substances for therapeutic purposes. My primary goal is to help my clients integrate their psychedelic experiences into their lives so that they can experience remarkable personal growth and healing.
