About
I am passionate about working with people who struggle with mental health and addictions. I’ve been doing it for years now. I am passionate about working with people who struggle with mental health and addictions. I’ve been doing it for years now. I’m particularly passionate about working with and providing therapy for men. Men are struggling out there, yet they are less likely to admit they need help, let alone seek it out, than woman. It is my honor to treat ANYONE who is willing to do the work, but I must admit I have a special place in my heart for: College kids, because man have they had a crappy few years First responders, veterans, and law enforcement, because they need the support and are reluctant to seek it out Men of all ages who need help with their relationships, because even the best ones are still hard to maintain Fellow therapists, because I really do get the struggle Hard working employees who struggle with work-related burnout Those who struggle with alcohol and drug problems, because I have been in recovery for almost 20 years and I know what it’s like What do you struggle with? How about you schedule a free 15-minute phone call and we’ll talk about it. Let’s see if we’re a good fit! I Help Men Get Unstuck. I love working with underdogs. The misunderstood, the underappreciated, the lost. These are my favorite kinds of people. Does that sound like you? My ideal client is motivated to change and willing to do the work – they’re just not sure how. If that’s you, we’ll be a good fit. I’ve had my own struggles with mental illness and drug addiction, and I feel like those personal experience have made be a better counselor. I suppose you can be the judge of that. What’s It Like To work With Me? If you prefer a counselor who is direct and solution-focused, I’m your guy. I’ll give it to you straight. Blunt but respectful. Counseling with me is usually: Cerebral Solution-Focused Goal-Oriented Heavy on psychoeducatio
