Growing up in a variety of different countries provided me with the opportunity to witness firsthand that perceptions of psychological health can differ widely between cultures. Despite these differences, one uniting characteristic I observed was the desire for human contact. These early experiences contributed to my later interest in multiculturalism and interpersonal psychology, as well as group therapy and couples work. For my undergraduate education, I attended Middlebury College in Vermont where I studied environmental science.

It was at Middlebury where I met my wife, Tori. Together we traveled to Texas A&M where we both received our Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. Though my field of study shifted from the environment to psychology, I still have a strong interest in issues of sustainability, stewardship, and environmental education. Each summer Tori and I enjoy spending some time at the family farm in the Northeast Kingdom putting these concepts into practice. The creative process is also something that I highly value. In my free time here in Austin, I enjoy writing, sculpting and landscaping.

At my clinic, each client receives a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed clinician, and follow-up support from skilled consultants who ensure the recommendations are implemented effectively. I pride myself on my hands-on approach, assisting with connections to mental health providers, tutors, and cognitive testing, as well as liaising with academic advisers and disability offices to secure necessary accommodations.
