What I Offer

Honest Mentoring for Men at a Crossroads

This is not therapy.
It’s not about fixing or performing.
This is not therapy.
It’s grounded, confidential mentoring for men who want to feel again.

What I Offer

Mentoring with Depth, Honesty, and Soul

I’m a former minister, grieving father, and gay man who knows what it means to lose everything and start again.
I bring two decades of experience in leadership and community mental health, grounded in:
Narrative Inquiry (your story matters)
Strengths-Based Mentoring (you’re not broken, you’re buried)
Emotional Logic (your emotions have a purpose)
Myth & Archetypes (you’re not alone—you’re in a story
older than you)
This isn’t about turning you into someone new.
 It’s about helping you remember who you really are.
