Through evidence based and trauma informed interventions, I foster a transparent and brave space for you to be heard and work toward a resolution. Whether it is about coming out, understanding an LGBT+ family member, managing ADHD, communicating feelings, or gaining strategies for success. I am very transparent and believe change is inherently uncomfortable. While shouldering some of the discomfort, I can help you (and/or your family): craft a roadmap for success; break habits and change patterns with relationships, behaviors or your identity; or experience a sense of mastery over life's challenges. I also offer clinical trainings & workshops. Coming from a rural community, I learned to perceive that anything deemed "too different" was wrong, bad, or worthless and needed changed or removed. As a now proud gay man, husband, psychologist, clinical director, professor, supervisor, mentor, presenter, and cat-dad, I have faced numerous mountains, and learned to move them so I may experience peace.
