I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Rhode Island (2000), and am a licensed clinical psychologist in IL (2006) and NH (2023). I am also a PsyPact psychotherapist, that allows me to conduct tele-mental health in 40 plus states.  I have extensive experience in working with people who struggle with depression and anxiety, and those who have relationship concerns.

 

My academic publications and co-authored, peer-reviewed papers can be found in leading psychology journals. They have been read and cited over 850 times.  I teach and have developed online psychology courses.

 

I am an early recipient of a disadvantaged health disparities scholar award (2002), from the NIH - National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). NIMDH leads scientific research to improve minority health and eliminate health disparities. Across my career I have developed, approved curriculum, and taught over 2,000 undergraduate, and graduate students. If you are a writer or graduate student, I can help you navigate your academic and writing journey in my supportive, affirmative, coaching model.  I work at the intersections of psychology, art, education, writing, and social justice. 

​

Across my social media sites, I have several thousand followers.  As a multi-faceted creative, I enjoy being a writer, artist, "Transforming Minds with Dr. Brian"podcast host, and Youtube creator.

​

Warmly,

Dr. Brian
