He works with individuals and couples, guiding them to adopting effective strategies and developing healthy responses to address challenging thoughts and emotions, while also pursuing their own meaningful goals.

Driven by a belief that positive transformation is possible, clients are encouraged to deepen their self-awareness and recognize their strengths and values. Brian looks to empower clients to confront life’s challenges confidently, allowing them to make choices that align with their personal aspirations.
In counseling sessions, clients work towards managing various emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and loss, while also enhancing stress management, achieving work-life equilibrium, and exploring substance use patterns. Brian integrates components of behavioral techniques, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with solution-focused and family systems approaches to promote holistic wellness.
