Attachment Styles
You can be smart, funny, successful
And still mess up every close relationship you care about.
That's because relationships are based in emotion and attachment.
If your attachment style is
Anxious, avoidant, or disorganized,
Making friends, dating, or staying married becomes a landmine of
overthinking, pulling away, and pretending you’re fine when you’re not.
Well, Good news!
Scott is really good at helping people fix their relationships
Using his unique style of attachment-based therapy,
Scott will help you learn how to connect without losing yourself,
Say what you need without panicking, and
Finally build the kind of confidence that's true to you.
Topics Covered:
~Struggling to keep or make friends
~Feeling awkward in social settings
~Dating anxiety
~Constantly arguing with your partner
~Feel like your partner is always upset with you

Society doesn't talk about sex and sexuality in a way that’s helpful
—or healthy—AT ALL.
Most conversations about sex are filled with shame and rules about
What you shouldn’t do.
But what the hell do I do with that!?
What's 'normal sex'!?
What's 'healthy' sex!?
Is my body ok!?
How do I get laid!?
Are there any hot tattooed goth chicks in my area!?
Scott's career path (and being wildly gay) has lead him heavily into the topic of sexuality
and he has answers to all of these, and more!
Whether you're curious, confused, repressed, or just a weirdo who has questions about their sex life - I'm here for it!
Topics covered:
~Sex / Porn addiction
~Sexual anxiety
~Sexual shame
~Body shame
~Childhood sexual trauma
~Boundary crossings among siblings
~Coming out (as gay, trans, with fetishes to partner)
~Navigating/Understanding fetishes
~Fixing your dating profile
~How to date and how its different in the gay/lesbian/straight community
~Navigating sex on dates


Sexuality
Narcissism
Maybe you're finally starting to admit what your friends have been saying for years.
Something you’ve known deep down, but didn’t want to believe.
Your partner really might be a narcissist.
You defended them, covered for them, made excuses.
You told yourself it would get better.
But it didn’t. And now, you know it won’t.
Your nervous system is fried.
You’re left with guilt, shame, and a thousand warped memories that don’t quite line up.
That’s not weakness. That’s trauma.
Sorting it all out can feel overwhelming.
But I’ve been through this process myself, and I’d be honored
To help you put the pieces back together.
Topics covered:
~Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
~Living with a narcissistic partner

Couples Counseling
Great relationships don’t happen by accident.
They take effort, honesty, and a lotta tools.
When the communication breaks down,
The intimacy fades,
And the resentment builds,
Everything starts feeling fragile.
We’ll sort through the damage, untangle the tension, and
Build something stronger than what you started with.

~Avoiding tough conversations
~Learning healthy communication skills
~Codependency
~Living with a narcissistic partner
~Borderline dynamics in relationships

~Addiction’s impact on love and trust


Ok...
There was this time I took an improv class for a year,
And as the teacher got to know us through introductions
She took notes.
Ever curious, Scott asked, 'What did you write down for me.
The teacher responded,
'Just one word:
...Obsessive.'
Damn...
...Fair enough.
...That was accurate :')
...I sat back down.
Throughout his years as a therapist, Scott has obsessively researched topics that were new to him,
Whether that be through eBooks, youtube channels, interviewing people,
or even bringing forth knowledge from past work experiences.
At some point in his career,
Scott realized that he knew waaaaaay too much about psychology.
Here are a few of the topics that Scott has deep-dived and
Done well with clinically:
Binge Eating Disorder <3
Psychology of Addictions
Child Psychology
Sexual Trauma
Borderline Personality Disorder
How to be a supportive partner
Perfectionism
Being Single and Landing a Date (Depending on gender and sexual orientation)
Identifying and Recovering from Burnout
Learning How to Make Friends
Issues with Hiding Problems / People Pleasing
Partially: Recovery from Cults / High Demand-High Control Religions
Gay Men recovering from Domestic Violence
