Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Tucson, Arizona. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Brigham Young University and have been practicing for 25 years. While my focus has been working with adolescents, I also have extensive experience with all ages of adults. I bring a conservative and compassionate approach to the therapy session. You and your time is valuable and I want to respect that. Clients consistently give me excellent ratings and see marked improvement in their lives.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then I will listen to your story. I will seek to understand your perspective. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions where I will introduce you to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), make goals, and work with you toward a brighter future. I want you to improve quickly in the fewest sessions possible.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with adolescents for over 25 years as a therapist as a sports coach and as a high school counselor, I've developed insight and a skill set to help (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adolescents suffering from anxiety, depression, or addiction, among other issues. I find that I can help most patients in a relatively short time. I also counsel all adult ages for the same issues among others.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat a wide range of problems with a large degree of success. My CBT treatments may involve breathing exercises and a focus on mindfulness. Patients are required to make goals and do some work outside of the session. A commitment to some homework is an expectation and required for success.

Christian Counseling

At clients request I am comfortable incorporating Christian principles, scriptures and faith in Christ as part of the treatment approach.

He is absolutely incredible. After just one session, I have felt some weight lifted off my shoulders. He has opened my mind to different ways of thinking. I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Dr. Bryan and will be making more appointments with him!

Bryan was very understanding and welcoming. A good balance of listening and offering advise and suggestions. I felt like there was a strong understanding of what I'm going though.

What a relief to find a therapist I connect with on a level that keeps me so motivated to continue to heal. He empowers me to accept myself for who I am but doesn’t shy away from challenging topics or confronting unhealthy behaviors.
