Great to meet you!

I'm an old school guy doing clinical social work to change the world for the better. I help men on their journey to being the best version of themselves they can be. I greatly enjoy making people laugh, engaging in reading-induced thought, and taking care of my family.

My approach to therapy

I use a real nice mix of brutal honesty, genuine empathy, and eye-watering humor to get guys talking about what's really going on. I create the space for healing and growth but my guys do the hard work. Yes, I'm proficient with CBT and motivational interviewing. We'll use elements of ACT and solution-focused therapy. But good therapy is fundamentally about creating a great therapeutic connection.

What you can expect from me

Our number one goal in your first session is to see, to feel, what kind of connection we've got. I want to get to know you, start to understand how you want your life to look, and leave that very first session with a concrete proposal of how I could help you.
