Great to meet you!

Hey guys. I'm Spencer, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in men's issues, teens, couples and families. The majority of my clients have been teens and men looking for someone to help kick start them out of mental ruts that have wore them down. Sometimes it's stuff going on at home or in a relationship. Other times it's a lack of meaning or motivation affecting school or job performance. It's not uncommon to see increases in substance use and other vices that maybe make things better for a short period of time before potentially becoming problems as well.

My approach to therapy

I've been a therapist for 12 years and behavior specialist for kids and families for 6 years before that. I've worked in several different settings with special trainings in trauma and mindfulness. My therapy style is relational, solution focused, and honest.

What you can expect from me

All of my first sessions are a combination of reviewing my client's intake packet, reviewing treatment goals and answering questions my clients might have about me, my approach to therapy and how I plan to help them.
