As a Native American male, I bring the influences of my culture to my practice. It has been my privilege to work with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with relationship issues, mood disorders and overcoming trauma from their past. I have extensive experience working with children that have experienced trauma.

I have extensive experience working with adolescents and children who have been victims and/or perpetrators of sexual abuse. I am an approved Minnesota Board of Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor, and am available to provide supervision to students and clinicians.
