I am a therapist oriented toward relationship issues, problems with assertiveness, communication barriers, and existential concerns (grief and other life phase changes). I've recently become aware how acutely I represent a minority in the profession, a man's perspective in an industry that now runs 80% women. I am licensed in Kentucky and Indiana. I have worked with clients with a wide range of other concerns, but these days, my strengths go toward those dealing with adjustment-related obstacles in a stressful world, rather than people with histories of severe mood or anxiety problems. I want you to be the best of who you are now, and I prefer to leave the challenges of deep, meaningful personality change or the wounds of trauma to my colleagues.
My counseling style takes a social science approach with you, forming testable hypotheses and solution-focused goals. In that tradition, I combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and existential counseling. But I'm also a bit of a knowledge generalist, and won't hesitate to bring in the lessons of history, literature, philosophy or even linguistics if you find any of those domains helpful. I like to think that as a real professional on the other side of a screen or keyboard, I'm a cut above "AI slop." In short, I deal in both dignity and hope, shaping my dialog and treatment plan to meet you where you are.
I would be honored to work with you!
