I use an eclectic approach to providing therapy, because I have come to understand that the challenges faced by those seeking assistance often run much deeper and are far more intricate than they initially appear. It is often what lies beneath the surface symptoms that holds the true root of their pain and disconnection.

Life is the ultimate teacher, and in my case, it sparked my passion for helping and guiding people who have experienced trauma, struggling with chronic pain, sleep and/or other mental health conditions. After serving two decades in military medicine pivoting to becoming a psychologist as my second career post-retirement seemed to be a natural choice, given my desire to help others and the growing need that I saw every day. My hope is to be able to help make the lives of others better through care and compassion that fits their individual needs and goals. Human beings are not one size fits all so why should therapy be?

For the past 12 years, it has been my honor and pleasure to serve military veterans and their families. Many of these veterans have told me that the counseling process literally saved their lives. They often started counseling with wounds so deep that they had almost lost hope of ever feeling better. Some had not attended family events or social functions in years due to anxiety, depression and other debilitating conditions. After working through these issues in counseling, they were able to enjoy life again with their families and friends.
I have also worked in areas of hospice, home health and child protective services.

Life has a tendency to be very unpredictable, even when we feel like we have it all figured out. Sometimes it's helpful to have someone to walk with you through its challenges... or to have someone willing to get in the trenches with you as you navigate grief, loss, stress, past trauma, and hard life transitions.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
