About
Kirk Faulkner.
Behavioral health. Counseling training. Writing, storytelling, and improv.
I like the conversations most people would rather avoid—and I try to bring curiosity, steadiness, and a sense of humor to them.
Behavioral Health
I work in behavioral health and I’m continuing my education at Point Loma Nazarene University. Addiction, recovery, ADHD, and the end of life are subjects I keep coming back to.
People do their best growing when they feel heard and supported. That belief shapes how I approach these conversations.
Writer & Storyteller
I’m interested in the stories we tell about complicated human experiences: how people change, find meaning, and learn to live with themselves. Writing and storytelling are ways to explore those questions.
Improv
I also do improv, which turns out to be great training for therapy: listen closely, don’t judge, and roll with whatever comes next.
That means being present, accepting what another person gives you, and making room for uncertainty. It’s about human connection as much as entertainment.
