Meet Brian

I work with individuals in private practice and community mental health settings. I believe the relationship between counselor and client is sacred, and that healing and growth in therapy depend on the quality of that relationship. I am known for my ability to put people at ease with my sense of humor and pragmatic approach. I view clients as having innumerable strengths, skills, and past successes that provide fertile ground for possibility and change. Clients often say this belief in their potential is the most life-changing part of our work together.
