My bride Heather and I were married in 1995 and we currently live in Hopkinton MA with our three girls, two guinea pigs.
I am a licensed counselor in Massachusetts. I work exclusively with grief, trauma and pre-marriage counseling.
My experience includes: teaching public and private school, home-based counseling of adults, adolescents, and children for Wayside Youth & Family, mental health counseling at UMass Marlborough Hospital Psych Unit, and development and oversight of the Department of Children and Families’ mental health programming. Since 1995, I have also provided counseling for churches in Connecticut, Delaware and Massachusetts. Since 2013, I have been leading grief counseling groups and since 2019 I have been providing trauma informed counseling utilizing EMDR therapy.
