A nationally certified DBT clinician with more than a decade of experience, he leads Lakeside’s dialectical behavior therapy programming and guides clients through skills-based group and individual work.

He is especially focused on helping clients build distress tolerance and emotion-regulation skills, and his clinical experience informs his work with people navigating childhood trauma, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder.
