In the Disney Movie, The Lion King, Rafiki the wise monkey says, “Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” Being an avid Harry Potter, Disney fan has taught me a lot of things in my life. I have been a therapist for over 10 + years. I specialize in all types of traumas (i.e. family or origins, bullying, chronic health, divorce, adjustment issues, life change, grief, to all types of abuse and harm), depression, addiction, and anxiety. I work with individuals, families, couples, the LGTBQIA+ community, first responders/military, and ages 6-96+.

As we navigate this human experience, it would seem that the only thing we can count on is change. Change can come in the form of major life adjustments such as employment, death and loss, deployments, school, being pushed outside of our comfort zone, as well as a variety of other circumstances that can turn our world upside down. What is important to remember is that you are not alone, and there is support to help you navigate through these challenging times. I am here to support you on this journey, and allow you to find solace and closure where needed.

Hi, I am Brian. I look forward to working with you and offering tangible hope to hold onto. I have primarily focused in two areas of therapy: couples and children. However, I have deep empathy for those going through grief, domestic violence, conflict with faith, and traumatic experiences. Whether you are a couple, individual, or parent and child coming into therapy, I will provide a space to listen and help you process your concerns. Together we will determine what the best approach to therapy will be for your desired goals and make a plan to reach that goal with me or a therapist that is the best fit for you.

Feeling lonely, hurt, misunderstood, or frustrated in your marriage can feel overwhelmingly debilitating at times. As a therapist, I am here to support you and your partner without judgment, wherever you may be in your journey. Using evidence-based practices, I work with couples to foster healthier relationship patterns by deepening their understanding of themselves and each other. This can be hard–as it requires vulnerability, honesty, and practice–but I believe in you! Some of the greatest hope and healing I have witnessed, transpires between partners in the therapy room.
