Brian obtained his Master of Social Work degree at Washington University in St. Louis, where he trained under nationally-renown therapists, psychiatrists, and researchers. He has successfully treated men and women who had struggled with a variety of concerns, such as depression, grief, substance abuse, family and work conflict, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

In addition, he has extensive knowledge and experience in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, family systems, holistic, and positive psychology.
