I hold an MFA from Goddard College, 2015, as well as an MSW. I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa - the oldest academic honor society in the United States. I studied clinical mental health counseling at the University of the Cumberlands and completed my clinical social work (MSW) degree through Fort Hays State University. I am certified in solution-based coaching as well. As a former professor, I write extensively. My most recent book, The Lost Art of Love, was an Indie Award Finalist.

I accept a limited number of clients. I do not work exclusively with gender variant clients as I prefer a range of issues with the core problem being existential crisis. I address grief, purpose, career coaching, end of life matters, and depression sometimes through a Hindu-istic lens. If you think we may be a good fit, by all means send me a message. Having said that, to potential clients who are struggling with gender, I want you to know I understand firsthand what it is like. When I was 18, I transitioned. It took a tremendous toll on my life thereby derailing a typical course of evolution. My perspective on the pros and cons has significantly changed over the years. I can assure you that how you feel at 13, 16, 25, and 30 will not be the same as you continue to get older. I wish someone had asked me the hard questions back then, but I wasn't willing or ready to answer them at the time. Nor were therapists adequately informed. Even now, reading about the issue in a textbook is no substitute for lived experience. I have lived as male for more than 18 years. I neither encourage nor discourage others when it comes to transitioning, but I do caution. My role is to ask questions and help you get to the root of your distress while offering insight and understanding - whatever the situation may be. I do not advertise who I am and this is why I do not post a picture on my business website. I value privacy, not exhibition.
