First, a question: Does it seem like it's all just too much? Be honest. If your answer is yes, you've come to the right place. I've spent years working with veterans and the military, and I've helped many hundreds of clients navigate stressors, from the unimaginable to the ordinary. In my experience as a therapist, what clients want is to find a way through the difficulty and madness in order to build, or rebuild, a life they recognize built on meaning and purpose. They are stuck, and they want to get unstuck.

I help clients confront and address the overwhelming stressors that have led them away from their preferred path in life. I enjoy assisting clients as they rediscover their values, develop new tools and insights, and engage in committed action. I utilize a number of different evidence-based approaches to therapy. In other words, I do therapy that works.

Perhaps you're feeling lost or stuck in a hole. You are not alone, and you deserve to have hope that things can change for the better. They can. For anyone who's stuck - creatively, psychologically, emotionally or spiritually - I can help. I'm accepting new clients and would love to hear from you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

I have extensive training and experience working with clients struggling with trauma, PTSD, and/or depression. During our initial sessions, we will take a "deep dive" into the issues you're having and together develop a plan to address them. You can get your life back on track. The vast majority of my clients experience positive change in the first 4-6 weeks with additional gains to follow.

There is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy, but I often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is itself a very flexible and present-centered approach. I'm also trained in several different forms of cognitive behavioral therapy, including two different types of evidence-based therapy designed to treat trauma and PTSD.
