Supervised by Becky Davenport, Ph.D., LMFT-S
I am currently earning my Master of Marriage and Family Therapy degree from Capella University. I
began my professional career 20 years ago as a public accountant, but throughout my career, I
repeatedly saw how vital healthy relationships are to our sense of connection, security and our ability
to succeed in other pursuits. As I worked along side team members, I came to recognize that I have
an innate desire to help individuals by strengthening relationships among the team, as well as
wanting to help team members improve relationships at home. In addition to working with adult
individuals and couples, I also enjoy working with adolescents and children.
My preferred approach to therapy is to explore emotions and underlying attachment needs that
motivate responses in everyday situations. I aim to use a collaborative approach to defining
problems, setting goals and organizing tasks to help individuals, couples and families strengthen
relationships, recognize new strengths and build resilience in their lives.
Personally, I have been married for over 20 years and my wife and I have six children. We enjoy a
number of activities together as a family, including tennis, hiking, pickleball, board games and road
tripping to National Parks and other points of interest. Individually, I enjoy backyard bbq and smoked
meats and learning new recipes for baked goods.
Taking that first step to begin your therapeutic journey may be daunting and requires courage, but
the journey can be immensely fulfilling. I would be honored to walk beside you in your personal
journey.
