Who He Works With
Drew's practice centers on a few areas he knows well: adult ADHD, self-criticism, life transitions, and men's mental health and performance. The common thread is people who look fine from the outside and feel stuck on the inside.
Many of his clients are good at their jobs and hard on themselves. They know what they care about. They may find themselves postponing hard conversations or turning a missed commitment into another reason to criticize themselves.
How He Works
Drew's approach draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and behavioral science. That means paying attention to what matters to you, noticing the thoughts and feelings that pull you off course, and practicing small, concrete steps in the direction you choose.
In the room, he is collaborative and candid. He will ask questions, share what he's noticing, and occasionally say the thing you were hoping nobody would say. Humor is welcome. So is not knowing where to start.
A primary way to work with Drew is The Self-Led Man, a 12-week small-group coaching program focused on meaningful action, self-trust and connection. It is nonclinical coaching, separate from therapy. Individual Therapy and Group Therapy, a therapist-led men's group, are options for adults seeking clinical care.

Drew's path ran through rural Texas and through government systems of care. Along the way he saw how often people were handed insight and left without a practical way to use it.
That shaped how he works now: understanding why you're stuck matters, and so does doing something about it. Sessions aim for action, not only insight.
Insight without action was the problem.
A life beyond the résumé.
A values-driven life isn't only about responsibility. It also includes enjoyment, connection, and the things that make an ordinary week feel like yours.
Plenty of capable adults reach a point where overachievement or constant distraction has left them a little numb, getting things done without feeling much about any of it. Drew sees asking for support as part of self-leadership, not a failure of it. And setbacks are part of any honest attempt at change. A missed week or a rough month doesn't decide what you're worth.
Curiosity first. Then one small, honest experiment.
Outside the Office
When he isn't seeing clients, Drew is usually doing something that involves falling down and getting back up: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, salsa and bachata, or snowboarding.
The rest of the time he's outdoors with Riggs, his border collie, who has strong opinions about how often a walk should happen.
