Hey there, I'm Brian. I'm glad you are here.

As a counselor who helps people understand and be honest with themselves and others, I’ll share that writing this 'About Me' page is, for me, about as painful as stepping on a nail. I would rather sit around the table and swap some good stories with a couple of close friends, play a board game with my kids, or take a walk with my wife - but I have learned, through a lot of my own personal counseling, that doing hard things is good for us. 

To that end - here is a little about me. 

My journey as a human and professional counselor has not been linear - I can empathize with a lot of my clients who experience feelings of upheaval when life rarely takes the turns we expect. Through a series of events that I'm both grateful for and still processing, I received my MA in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary and have been working as a licensed professional counselor in the St. Louis area for 5 years.

Through those years, I have had the privilege of walking with many individuals and couples through pain and toward healing. My clients are men coping with the intricacies of understanding emotions, women working through complex traumas, couples learning to communicate and care for each other well, and the list goes on.

I currently live in St. Louis, MO, with my wife of 12 years, 2 daughters, and our amazing dog June.
