Hi, I'm Drew.
I'm a California & Colorado Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I have strong opinions about peoples' capacity to improve.
Men have been lied to for decades.
"Figure it out."
We're told that what we do, think, and feel is supposed to be entirely learned alone, inside-out, in isolation, rather than with the support of community.
I believe in the power of mental health support. Counseling, or therapy, or whatever you want to call it, is an essential service that should be as integral to our wellness as physical health. Life rarely gives a person explicit feedback about how things are going.
I'm not interested in being any sort of judge or expert in a person's life - I'm interested in generative dialogue and bringing light/perspective to gray or perhaps uncomfortable facets of our vastly complex and colorful lives.
My purpose in this profession, and in my life, is to be the external force that empowers people to become experts in their own lives, capable of agency and change, because they deserve that.

In a world of "either-or's", I'm a "both-and".
You don't have to choose between an old, out of touch therapist or a woo-woo counselor who doesn't see or understand your position.
I speak multiple languages and inhabit multiple spaces. What I mean is that I see the value in emotional discourse, but only when accompanied by pragmatic action. This is why, as both a therapist and participant in therapy, I recognize the gaps in much of the institutional, or formal, application of therapeutic services.
And so I place my focus on walking between worlds, to help my clients with the real-world concerns they face every day.
Overwhelming stress. Difficulties with identity development. Roller-coaster relationship woes. Imbalances or unhealthy relationships with electronics. I grew up with the emergence of the internet, integrated technology, and a deep understanding and acceptance of mental health that allows me to focus on the problems and use this medium to reach the right men, where and how they need it.
All in all, I think of it this way.
Getting your master’s in counseling is like going to culinary school. You learn the basics, a few cool party tricks, and by the end you can prepare a gourmet meal.
Real therapy, however, is like waking up to a new episode of chopped, where the ingredients are totally random, and your job is to make something amazing with the people you work with, and occasionally something catches on fire.
So when you're ready to get started, I'm here. I'm in your corner. And I've got my apron handy and a cutting board, ready to help you piece this thing together.
