Life doesn’t always go how we planned. You might be dealing with stress, relationship issues, a loss of direction, or just feeling off and not sure why.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Life Coach with over 25 years of experience helping men navigate some of life’s toughest challenges. My approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on real progress—not just talking, but creating meaningful change.
I specialize in working with men facing issues like major life transitions (divorce, career changes, loss of purpose), stress and anger management, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, sexual concerns, addiction, and low motivation or self-esteem. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just know something needs to change, I provide a space to get clear, rebuild confidence, and move forward with purpose.
If you’re considering getting support, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer your questions and see if we’re a good fit. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out—sometimes a simple conversation is the first step toward getting back on track.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach is structured, practical, and focused on real change. I don’t believe therapy should just be a place to talk about problems—it should help you understand what’s happening and give you clear ways to move forward.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with solution-focused strategies to help identify patterns, manage emotions more effectively, and improve decision-making. Sessions are active and goal-oriented, with a focus on developing tools you can apply in everyday situations.
I also emphasize accountability and consistency. We work toward measurable progress by addressing what’s not working, building better habits, and creating a clear path forward. The goal is not just insight, but lasting change in how you think, respond, and handle challenges.

My practice focuses on helping adult men better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Many of the men I work with are dealing with ongoing stress, anger, anxiety, relationship problems, or a general sense that something isn’t working—even if they can’t fully explain why.
I provide individual counseling and life coaching using a structured, practical approach. Treatment is tailored to each client, but often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and skills-based work around emotional regulation, communication, and decision-making. Sessions are active and goal-oriented, with a focus on identifying patterns, building awareness, and developing tools that can be applied in everyday life.
As a therapist specializing in men’s counseling, I commonly work with issues such as anger management, anxiety and depression, relationship and communication challenges, life transitions (including divorce and career changes), sexual concerns, addiction, and low motivation or self-confidence. I also work with clients who are trying to gain clarity around purpose, direction, and long-term goals.
In addition to insight-based work, I emphasize practical strategies to help clients respond differently to stress, handle conflict more effectively, and move forward when they feel stuck. The goal is not just to talk through problems, but to build accountability and create measurable progress over time.
I offer counseling and life coaching services for men in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and throughout Arizona, including Tucson and Flagstaff, with both in-person and virtual sessions available.
