BIO

Here is my definition for addiction: Any behavior or substance which is interfering with the person YOU want to be.  
 

Hi, I’m Paul!  I’m a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, with decades of prior military and law enforcement experience and I’m passionate about working with people from all walks of life. Yet my experience and expertise uniquely position me to support men navigating today’s evolving understanding of masculinity. Men of all ages need a fresh perspective on what it truly means to be a healthy man, and my goal is to help you find that vision for yourself and living a life with or without alcohol and substances is possible!  
 

In our work together, you can expect open, honest dialogue and practical, straightforward guidance. I believe in getting to the heart of the matter—no bullshit, no sugar-coating or ineffective strategies. My approach in motivational therapy is direct and solution-focused, aiming to help you move beyond who you think you "should" be and start becoming the person you truly want to be.
 

A strong therapist-client relationship is essential, and I encourage you to ask yourself questions like, “Am I comfortable with this person? Do I feel that they’re being truthful with me? Is this a match?” In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free environment where we’ll set clear therapeutic goals with actionable steps that make sense in your everyday life.
 

If you're wondering about the duration of therapy, it varies—some find resolution in a few sessions, while others may need more time. We all have unique stories and goals, and I respect your pace and preferences. With my support, I’m confident that counseling can help you meet the challenges you’re facing and create the changes you want in your life.
