Vulcan Counseling

My path to counseling has been shaped by both study and experience. Before becoming a therapist, I studied philosophy, which fostered a lifelong interest in questions of meaning and suffering: What is a life well lived? My Orthodox Christian faith shapes my understanding of the inherent dignity and worth of every person. My practice is grounded in respect, compassion, and a commitment to serving clients from all backgrounds and beliefs. My work has led me to serve people in many different seasons of life, from walking alongside individuals and families through illness and grief in a hospital palliative care unit to supporting adults with anxiety and depression, and now working with adolescent boys in residential treatment. These experiences have reinforced my belief that healing is possible, even in life's most difficult seasons. As a husband and father, I believe growth rarely comes without struggle. While we cannot always choose the challenges we face, we can choose how we respond to them. Together, we can work toward healing, resilience, and becoming a fuller, healthier version yourself.
