Creating a safe space for individuals to thrive, grow, and find courage to tell their story, is what I believe my role to be as a counselor.

Affectionately known as The Angry Boy Whisperer. I enjoy spending half of my time helping families in conflict. Often parents have tried everything and things have gotten bad despite their best efforts. I help parents change the course of the family back to their original family vision, and I help children learn how to be respectful, responsible, and fun to be around. The other half of my time, I enjoy helping guys who have a hard time with depression, anxiety, various types of addiction (pornography/substances), and difficulties in relationships. I help men, of all ages, become men of character and honor. I help people de-stress.
