About Me

My work bridges clinical practice, research, and education, with a focus on men’s issues, trauma recovery, and resilience. trauma recovery, and resilience.
In counseling, I work primarily with men navigating identity, purpose, and relationships during seasons of disruption. My approach blends the endurance of Stoic principles with compassion and connection. My guiding principle is simple: you have to work your way to it, and then work your way through it.
Beyond clinical practice, I am actively engaged in research and writing. My current work explores narrative identity, trauma-centered identity, and how men reconstruct purpose after disruption. I am committed to publishing in peer-reviewed journals, advancing counselor education, and equipping others to approach identity work with clarity.
My Background

My Favorite Things
I love rainy days because my spouse makes hot chocolate and we watch TV in bed all day. Even though I live on the West Coast now, New England is one of the best places to visit.
