I am a licensed professional counselor, trauma healing wilderness therapist, coach, and men's group facilitator. I believe we have 1 life to live. My passion is helping people discover their way to live as fully and happily as possible. It is important to me that my clients experience progress, so I work hard with them wherever they are at in their struggles. My approach is both sensitive but masculine so that you feel safe and unpressured while bravely examining your inner blocks. Together we create action plans, which help you apply your insights and get the most out of our work together. We go as deep as you feel ready to go. I welcome intensity and view all emotional impulses as borne of love. Occasionally, emotions get out of balance and out of sync with our other needs. I help you build tolerance for your human liveliness and learn how to channel it so that you can be ALL of you. Clients find me challenging yet unconditionally accepting of them. As a wilderness therapist, I work indoors and out, weather and client permitting. My hobbies include laughing, story-telling, friends and family, motorcycle and wilderness adventures, fishing, martial arts, building, gardening, and dancing. I'm always evolving and am currently integrating vision from a 3 week Peruvian Ayahuasca retreat.
