Great to meet you!

I have been there for Soldiers and Veterans for more than 15 years. I started as the Suicide Prevention Program Manager for more than 13,000 Soldiers in 26 states and Puerto Rico. My current day job is working for the Department of Veterans Affairs as a Clinical Psychologist. What I provide to my private clients is a space to heal that’s safe. The truth is, we all need somebody to talk to. No big I’s and little u’s, just us in a space talking. I don’t make promises but my PTSD, Anxiety, and Anger Management Groups are often filled to capacity. This is actually the first time I have ever offered hours beyond my 8 to 4 job. It’s an opportunity for us to connect. Check out my TEDx Talk “Trained Not to Cry” to get a sense of who I am. It has been viewed more than 1.2 million times.

I’m human. I care. And I won’t ask you to “suck it up.” Life can be tricky. It can be hard. And, relationships can be crazy. When you’re ready for therapy, I’m here. You don’t have to be a Soldier or a Veteran. You can just be you. No judgement. I offer genuineness, authenticity, and a level of support and expertise that my clients have enjoyed for years. Let’s start your journey of healing and recovery.

My approach to therapy

I’m All in!

I’m your accountability partner

No Big I’s or Little u’s, just us.

I value what you bring to the table

The challenge is for us to help you get beyond where you are. Then we help you navigate your way out of the rabbit hole, your stuck point, that dark place.

I’m not the only one in the room with answers, you bring them too.

Is your past your greatest enemy? Are you your greatest enemy?
