I have a world class education, but there is more to me than that: There have been many iterations of "Alan" over the long years of my life. There is the drug addict that has walked the clean and sober path for 33 years. There is the truck driver and the tattoo artist, the husband (married 31 years), the father, the grandfather, the great grandfather, the foster father, the step-father. There is the Buddhist and the philosopher. I am reaching out to you. There is nothing you can tell me that will offend me.

And I can write a darned good introduction too! LOL!

I hope to meet you soon!

As your therapist, you will find that I am warm, compassionate and direct. You'll quickly see that I am not here to judge you and am here to support you to explore yourself and your beliefs. Over time, we'll work together to rewrite stories that are no longer serving you. I will help you feel empowered to come back to feeling content and like you're treating yourself with the kindness that you show other people. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient, community mental health, community college and private practice.
