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, the military, and the federal government.

My background is a little unusual. Most therapists don't have an MBA, and most business consultants haven't spent years working in mental health. 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 research focuses on burnout, partly because I've lived it -- and I've seen how hard it is for people to ask for help themselves.

Outside of the office, I'm a husband and a dad. My favorite hobby is getting a coffee and browsing Home Depot with a new project in mind. I like cooking and finding excuses to start something new around the house, usually before I've finished the last thing. Life gets complicated, and I don't pretend otherwise. That reality is part of what I bring into the room with every client I see.

If you're looking for a therapist or consultant who brings real clinical depth, a business-informed perspective, and someone who's actually been through it, I'd love to connect.
