About First Brick

Life can get incredibly complicated. And while we all experience it differently, how we approach it makes all the difference. Whether you’re facing challenges, chasing goals, or just feeling stuck, finding clarity and direction can be hard to do alone. That’s why professional, personalized support matters. It helps us gain insight, take next steps, and create meaningful growth.  

A Unique Approach for GBTQ+ Men

This process can be especially unique for men in our LGBTQ+ community. As men who are attracted to men, have sex with men, or love men, we’re often aware of our differentness from an early age, even if we don’t yet understand it. Growing up and moving through the world with that awareness shapes our mental health, our relationships, and our habits in ways that deserve their own approach to wellness.

I created First Brick because I saw a need for men who wanted more than standard life coaching, but didn’t quite need traditional therapy. This work isn’t just about uncovering limiting beliefs. It’s about troubleshooting what’s not working, finding resolutions, and creating change that lasts.

An Integrative, Holistic Approach

While I’m not a therapist, I use an integrative approach that blends tools and techniques from therapy, life coaching, and wellness - creating a unique form of non-clinical counseling.

This approach honors the fact that even a single issue or goal can have many layers. That’s why I take a holistic, client-centered approach that’s comprehensive, tailored, and never one-size-fits-all. This framework helps ensure that growth in one area supports (rather than disrupts) another.

Scott is like a gentle baker. He takes the ingredients I throw at him and, guiding my hand, helps me make bread. And I feel stronger, smarter, and more nourished by it.

Areas of Focus

My main areas of passion include Life Challenges & Life Events, Love & Relationships, Health & Fitness, and Sex & Sexuality. As a gay man, I understand how these areas can create some of our most personal and impactful struggles. And as a gay life coach, I understand how addressing them holistically can unlock lasting growth.

If you’re unsure where to start, reach out and share what’s on your mind. My goal is to help you move forward. And if your needs are outside my lane, I’ll gladly connect you with someone who’s the right fit.

More than life coaching. Less than therapy.
