Hi there, I'm Bruce!

We are all so much more than our struggles and have an amazing ability to overcome obstacles, whether they be relational, physical, emotional, or spiritual. The road to healing always begins with acceptance and understanding from an empathic listener, which I will always provide.

My focus

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief/loss, stress related to life transitions, parenting challenges, childhood trauma, or a crisis in faith? We begin by developing a foundation of trust and safety. From there, I assist you in building the confidence, resiliency, and freedom to accomplish self-directed goals.

My approach

My role is to come along side your journey to provide both the tools for the areas that have you feeling stuck and guidance in navigating any emotional minefields that may surface along the way. Discovering, or simply affirming your unique talents, heartfelt passions, and deepest relational needs can provide a roadmap to a happier, fulfilling life.
