Great to meet you!

As an an Global War on Terror veteran with 19 years of military experience I know the challenges that service members, their families, and trauma survivors face on a personal level. I am here to let you know that you will not just survive, but you will overcome your circumstances. I specialize in therapy with veterans, law enforcement, soldiers with PTSD, couples, the LGBT community, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and victims of human trafficking. My goals when working with clients are to attack faulty thinking, improve coping skills, build resilience, and encourage adaptation to life challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy includes utilizing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, logotherapy, transactional analysis, brief solution focused therapy, .

What you can expect from me

Don't be afraid to keep on living. Don't be afraid to choose life over death.
