He earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling in 2001 and has worked in human services for two decades.

That variety shaped a flexible way of working that fits different needs and situations.
Kevin uses several approaches depending on the person in front of him. He draws from client-centered methods to create a respectful space, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and narrative work to help people reframe their story. He also integrates mindfulness and existential ideas when they match a client's goals.
Kevin has experience helping people with trauma, domestic violence, addictions, ADHD, eating-related concerns, and mood conditions. He also supports those navigating grief, career questions, and issues around fatherhood and family conflict. He treats each concern as part of a larger life context and works on practical coping strategies as well as meaning and values.
People who want a calm, direct counselor who balances problem-solving with listening may find his style a good fit. He encourages small steps and regular review of progress to keep work focused and measurable.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with warmth and respect so people can explore what matters to them; it helps when someone wants a steady, understanding presence while they sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that benefit from clear strategies and homework. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell and reshape their life stories so difficult experiences fit into a broader, more hopeful view.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, day-to-day needs, and preferences. That means planning practical steps together and checking in to see what is helping and what should change.
