About me

Welcome — There’s Hope for a Better Future
Feeling stuck is what brought you here to seek help, and I want you to know that seeking help is the first step toward change. As a therapist, I’m here to support you in easing the discomfort you’re facing and guiding you toward becoming the best version of yourself. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths — because out of 8 billion people on this planet, there’s no one else exactly like you. Let’s work on helping you embrace who you are and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. You don’t have to do this alone.
Hello, I’m Ben, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience. Although I have been trained in a significant variety of counseling techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, you’re likely not here to hear about therapy techniques. What you want to know is this: Can I help you live a better life? My answer is yes. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and create a path toward a future filled with hope and purpose.
Although I have worked with young and old, males and females, I’ve experienced great success helping men work through transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or personal setbacks and are seeking to rediscover their purpose. Many men feel they need to handle life’s challenges alone, but you don’t. I’m here to help you rebuild confidence, regain clarity, and find new meaning in your life.
My approach is a solution-focused and strength-based approach rooted in empathy and hope. My solid Christian foundation supports my belief that hope is key to overcoming life’s hardest challenges both in the physical and spiritual realms. I also believe we all have the power to make better choices, and that small, consistent steps can transform your life. You don’t have to stay stuck. There is hope for a much better future. A better life is waiting, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
