A place to talk about what’s really going on.
In Your Life
Being a man can come with a lot of unwritten rules and unspoken expectations. Be strong. Handle it yourself. Provide for your family. Keep moving forward. Don’t let things get to you.
But sometimes, things do get to you.
Stress at work, tension in your marriage, the pressures of parenting, anxiety, frustration, major life changes, or simply feeling like something isn’t right can start to take a toll. You may know you need something to change but aren’t quite sure where to start.
Counseling gives you a place to talk openly, work through what’s going on, and find practical ways to move forward.
Counseling That Understands a Man’s Perspective
Sometimes it’s easier to talk with someone who understands where you’re coming from. As a husband, father, and man who has faced his own share of challenges, Bryan brings both professional experience and real-life perspective into the counseling room.
After nearly 20 years as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Bryan understands many of the pressures men face, from marriage and parenting to work, relationships, stress, and figuring out what comes next in life. He also knows what it’s like when life takes an unexpected turn. Losing his sight in his early thirties gave him firsthand experience with adapting to circumstances he couldn’t change while continuing to build a career, marriage, and family.
Bryan’s approach is straightforward, conversational, and practical. Counseling is a place where you can talk honestly about what’s going on, without judgment, and work together to find a way forward.
What Can Men’s Counseling Help With?
Men come to counseling for many different reasons. You may be dealing with one specific problem or several areas of life that have started piling up at once.
Counseling can help with:
- Marriage and relationship stress
- Parenting challenges
- Work and career stress
- Anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress
- Anger and frustration
- Major life transitions
- Young adulthood and finding direction
- Teen male challenges
- Family-of-origin and past issues
- Preparing for marriage
- Relationship conflict
- Addictions and compulsive behaviors
- Transitioning to an independent adult
- Finding meaning, direction, and purpose in life
You Don’t Have to Wait Until Things Fall Apart
Counseling isn’t only for a crisis. Sometimes it’s about recognizing that something isn’t working as well as it could and deciding to do something about it.
You may want to communicate better with your wife, become a more confident father, manage stress differently, work through something from your past, make an important decision, or simply feel more like yourself again.
Whatever brings you in, you’ll have a place to talk without judgment and work toward practical changes that make sense for your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll Answer
Sometimes you just need to have a conversation with someone who is not emotionally involved in your day-to-day life. By reaching out to a counselor, you can meet with a person who is not biased or judgmental. This makes expressing and determining why you are sad, angry, hurt, emotional, or confused a much easier process.

I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.
Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Bryan!
To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist…I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.
I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.
My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.
After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.
I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.
Thank you, Bryan!
