I focus on treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem and trauma. Life should be more than just learning how to tolerate symptoms. I believe that using empathy, open-minded discussions, and therapeutic strategies is the key to healing. As a father, Marine Corps veteran, and business owner, I have a unique perspective when dealing with trauma and related mental health issues. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, veterans and first responders to help with building better communication techniques, coping skills, and healing from trauma.

Life may not be turning out as you thought it would. Disappointments, failed expectations, trauma, tragedy or loss may make up part of your story that you have had a hard time accepting and moving on from. Or maybe you have dealt with a pervasive challenge like anxiety or depression that seems to be deeply rooted, and is disrupting your life. I believe that you can learn how to move through these challenges by processing the pain, gaining deeper insight about yourself and learning strategies along the way. This will improve how you view yourself, and others and help you to make the changes you want to keep moving forward.

Life is not always easy, and sometimes we need more support than our friends and family can give us, especially when we are going through difficult transitions, relationship disappointments and when life surprises us with unexpected turns and sometimes trauma. When these things happen, we may need someone to walk with us gently looking at where this chapter or narrative came from, pulling or pushing us in a direction we don’t want to go. It might even be a direction that could be helpful, but fear holds us back.
