Before becoming a therapist, Sean was a teacher, personal trainer, writer, and course creator. His varied background shows his belief that we are never just one thing.

Sean brings this spirit to counseling, meeting each client with curiosity, respect, and a real desire to understand who they are and where they want to go.
