Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am a US military veteran with over two decades of experiences as a provider of mental health care services at the individual, groups and organization level(s). I use my skills and training of over two decades as a psychotherapist, neuropsychology practitioner, addictions treatment professional, forensically credentialed and certified provider of sex offender assessment and treatment services, to provide general telemental health outpatient counseling care. My treatment approach is eclectic, in that I provide patients with e-therapy care that is both collaborative and integrative. Our work will be anchored with the best ideas and concepts from both conventional and alternative methods of healing, incorporating scientifically-supported technologies and techniques from nutritional psychology, neuropsychology and nutritional psychiatry as well as both ancient and.modern methods of psychotherapy.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is humorous, collaborative and relentlessly thorough, even radical. I leave no stone unturned to care for patients through e-counseling where patients benefit from nutritional psychology, lifestyle counseling, and applied neuropsychology. Online psychotherapy is provided in a collaborative manner for a diverse range of patients.

What you can expect from me

Adults, teens, older children (12+) approach care with me for-mood and emotional disorders (depression, anxiety, trauma), marital and family issues, personality concerns, substances of abuse and dependency issues, anger management dynamics, and for sex offender assessment and treatment concerns, as well as ADHD (ADD), and most behavioral and/or emotional issues. I work collaboratively with my clients, healing with humor, mutual respect, practiced listenership, and a non-traditional approach.
