Hi, I'm Brian

I’m a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and educator with over 16 years of experience helping adults navigate emotional pain, reclaim resilience, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Sometimes we all need a guide to help us get through difficult times and meet our goals for our life. You don't have to do this alone.

Why I do this work
I’m deeply driven by an endless curiosity about healing—always exploring new modalities and approaches to find what truly helps people move beyond their struggles. For me, therapy is more than a profession; it’s a commitment to walking alongside you as you reclaim your strength, peace, and joy. Helping individuals heal and grow fuels my passion every day, and I’m honored to support you on this journey toward a more fulfilling life.

How I Do This Work
I blend evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. Drawing from 16 years of clinical work, I integrate methods like EMDR, CBT, DBT, hypnotherapy, and parts work to support meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in creating a space that feels safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence and sense of humor. I strive to meet you where you are—helping you reconnect with your inner resiliency, uncover what’s been holding you back, and gently move forward at a pace that honors your story and your goals.
