About My Clients
My clients tend to be men who have been struggling in relationships or with depression or anxiety who are looking for a masculine perspective to help them enhance their mindset. My clients are ready to be challenged and employ critical thinking to work though their problems. My clients tend to step away from emotionality and focus on rational information which can have clear, measurable positive effect in their lives.
My Background and Approach
When it comes to counseling or coaching experience with life itself is a vital factor. I was a police officer and am now a therapist, father, and husband. I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the University in Louisville in 2010. I always felt training in therapy was missing something and after years of study and speaking to thousands of men I realize what is often missing is a masculine perspective and support for Men's issues. Most therapist, teachers, psychologists, and counselors are women. Women have been scientifically shown to have vastly different thinking processes than men. They process emotion differently, they love differently, they learn differently, their desires are different from ours and their experiences in life are vastly different. How then, does one expect them to understand the male experience well enough to provide effective, empathic, therapy? I focus on men, who are a neglected and misunderstood demographic.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that focusing on beliefs can and often does lead Men to disastrous results. Beliefs are generally derived from feelings, and are inflexible and oftentimes irrational. Prisons are filled with emotional and irrational Men. Men should focus on what they think and what they know while being in constant pursuit of knowledge that can help sharpen them and help them pursue their purpose. Men should always be ready to take in new information that helps them adjust how they move within the world. Men should be their own Mental Point of Origin because what helps a man become more valuable helps those who rely on him. Men should not be sitting around believing or manifesting, they should be doing, achieving, and improving. Feelings are an evolutionary adaptation that helps us move from one state to the next. Most Men who I have spoken to who are depressed or anxious are stuck in a depressing or anxiety inducing situation and simply need someone who can help them take the next step.
