I'm Josh. I'm a therapist, educator, consultant, doctoral researcher, Navy veteran, and someone who drinks way too much coffee and genuinely believes thriller movies are underrated.

I've spent over a decade working in some of the most demanding corners of behavioral health: community mental health, public schools, substance use, universities, and now the VA, where I work full-time supporting veterans and service members navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives.

My background is a little unusual. I hold degrees in psychology, social work, and business, which means I think about people and problems from multiple angles at once. That combination shapes everything I do, whether I'm sitting with a client processing trauma or helping a clinician figure out why their practice feels like it's running them instead of the other way around.

I also know what it's like to be on the other side of the room. I've been a patient, not just a provider. My doctoral research focuses on burnout, partly because I've lived it. People in helping professions carry a lot, often quietly, and I think that deserves more attention than it gets.

Outside the office, I'm a husband and a dad, which keeps me grounded and humbled. Life is messy and nonlinear. That's not a liability in this work, it's the whole point.

If you're looking for a therapist or consultant who brings real clinical depth, a business-informed perspective, and an actual human being on the other side of the room, I'd love to connect!
