Let me guess: you’re doing okay, functioning in life — good job, good income, family, friends, but you’re hurting. You’re using drugs or drinking to cope with the stress of it all. Sound familiar? You’ve been working hard to fix the problem, but with diminishing returns. Therapy hasn’t been helpful previously? Do you want to heal for real? Are you tired of having meds thrown at you? I have a high rate of successful outcomes. Transmuting fear into hope. Problems into solutions. There’s no one-size-fits-all blueprint for recovery, I’ll help you design yours. Change is a journey! Let’s ride! Let’s get you well for real, and for good.
You are the expert in the room. My job is to help you discover & use your expertise — to guide you in helping yourself to achieve lasting & positive outcomes. Your “Soul Sherpa”. I’ve seen more people get better, stay better, and build beautiful lives than not. By a huge margin. Like, seriously huge. Reach out.
It takes real courage to pick up a phone & ask a stranger for help. That’s strength. That’s empowerment. We all need help in this life sometimes. It might not feel triumphant — but you’re doing something seriously brave. That more manageable life you seek? It’s just up ahead. Let’s reveal the road. We seek help to get well, not to stay sick.

I met Josh over ten years ago when we both worked at a clinic. Clients adored his patience and empathy. He is very good at his craft and has helped many people in recovery navigate the process with love and compassion. Highly recommend Josh as a clinician!

There's only one universal truth in achieving recovery: we can't do it alone. If we could, we would have long ago. True healing happens within the connections we make with others, with the world, and with self. Finding meaning. Finding purpose. Living life, so life isn't living us. Then, we can let our lives proceed by their own design. Wheel to the storm and fly!
