About

About me
Meet Kirk: Your Partner in Change
Life can be messy—I get it. I’ve been there. From serving time In prison to serving others, my journey has shaped my mission: to help you take charge of your mental health and reclaim your life.

Whether you're navigating ADHD or bipolar disorder or need guidance to reach your potential, I’m here with a nonjudgmental, straight-talking approach that works.
Why Work with Me?
• I’ve lived it. I know what it’s like to feel stuck and overwhelmed.
• I focus on accountability and building habits that last.
• ADHD? Bipolar? Executive coaching? We’ll tackle it together, head-on.
• No fluff, no judgment—just real, actionable support.
• You Matter…You’re Important to Me I Hear & Will see you

What Makes Me Different
• Over 23 years of experience as a social worker, RN, and case manager.
• Working As a Correctional Nurse to complex care case manager for injured workers
• A firm belief that greatness lies within everyone, waiting to be awakened.
• I stay sharp—always learning, constantly evolving, always bringing you the best care.
• I am a Mental Health patient I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I have ADHD and Bipolar 2 disorder

Let’s Get to Work
My family members are LGBQT; I am a Christian, and My dog’s name is Magic Pickles (story to be explained upon intake). I won’t and don’t judge from mental health to pain management.
This isn’t just therapy—it’s a journey to the best version of you. I

I’ll support, guide, and challenge you to show up and take control.

Are you ready? Let’s go!
 
Treatment philosophy
Life’s messy, and so are you—let’s figure it out. My goal? It is to help you understand your quirks, strengths, and what keeps tripping you up so you can take charge of your story. There are no quick fixes or tossing pills here; we’re diving into your brilliant, chaotic brain. Power suit or grandma’s muumuu? It doesn’t matter—we’re doing the work. DBT, humor, coloring books—you name it, we’ll use it. Everything’s just talk until it’s not, right? We’ll tackle the elephant in the room, devise a plan, and make it happen. And if your complex OCD tendencies are screaming for control—tell them to take a day off. It’s time to build a life rooted in self-compassion, kindness, and a dash of irreverence. LET’S GO!
