Bruce has helped my marriage grow so much through his various techniques. Bruce is very attentive to me and my husband, he listens to us, takes time to hear both sides, and then helps guid us to a compromise. If you are looking for a therapist who is detail oriented and truly listens to you, Bruce is your guy! You won’t be disappointed!

Bruce is very kind but if you're not looking for couples counseling you might want to think about finding someone else. I felt like he was trying to fit me into a box he was used to helping with. He was constantly late and I felt like he was upset the one day I was late because of childcare issues so it really felt like a double standard.

Bruce is one of the most compassionate men I've ever known - his desire to help others is sincere, and he's a very skilled, empathic therapist. I highly recommend him, especially if you're looking for someone to truly listen, accept you for who you are, and guide you to a happier place in life.

I have referred a couple to Bruce and he truly brings a different dynamic to a counseling session. They both benefited from the sessions with Bruce. Bruce is an unbiased third party and tries to resolve issues via communication. The reason I referred Bruce was because I had the privilege of getting to know him and his deep understanding of relationships and communication alike. He is extremely professional and takes client confidentiality serious. I would highly recommend Bruce to anyone.
