I Help Men Explore What’s Beneath Their Anger

After receiving my BA in Sociology at Westmont College, I worked for many years as a journeyman carpenter, with stints volunteering in Northern Ireland, traveling throughout Central America, working as a collegiate soccer coach and guiding wilderness trips before I found my way to graduate school to receive my Master of Social Work degree.

Over the years I have worked in a variety of settings, that include a county jail, inpatient hospital, and over five years overseeing a mental health project at a youth center. Now in private practice I work as a therapist with men and couples encouraging us all to face and learn from our anger, discord and disappointment so as to cultivate the freedom to live more courageously into what matters.

I am a father, husband, son of teachers and coaches, lover of the outdoors, woodworker, asker of questions broad and deep, former collegiate athlete now committed to coaching youth sports, and someone constantly learning from my own anger, disappointment, grief and the humbling lessons of everyday life.
