Personal

Outside of my professional work, I value the relationships, and activities that help keep me grounded and connected to others. Family is especially important to me, and I love spending time with my wife and 3 kids. I also enjoy sports and weight training. I have competed in competitive powerlifting for years and appreciate the demands and personal challenges that come with it. Lastly, my faith is important to me as it provides me with a sense of purpose, community, service, and connection. 

Clinical Focus & Approach

Compassionate, evidence-based mental health services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and families. My therapeutic framework is deeply collaborative, strengths-based, and heavily focused on helping clients build practical skills for everyday life.

Anonymous Client Testimonials

Lloyd made me feel comfortable right off the bat. I was struggling with anxiety, and every little bit of stress made it worse, but he worked with me to develop strategies to face those situations with a fresh perspective. Therapy with him really helped me through a tough season!

Anonymous Client

I was hesitant to try therapy, but Lloyd came recommended by a friend, so I decided to give him a shot. In my mind, this was going to be awkward and uncomfortable, but talking with him was easy, like hanging with a buddy. We dug into some pretty deep stuff during our sessions and he helped me a lot. He’s a good guy. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

The biggest thing Lloyd helped me with has been learning that I have control over how I respond to difficult situations. I’ve had to navigate some family situations that were leaving me drained. Therapy was the collaboration I needed to help me figure out how to handle those relationships in a way that protects my peace.
