Want a therapist on your journey to become better, more in control, more hopeful individual, then I am the counselor for you. With my extensive knowledge, out of the box thinking, and often humorous process, you will almost always end the session feeling better than when you started. I look forward to helping you and learning about you and forming a partnership on this grand journey. Anxious, depressed, struggling with PTSD symptoms, angry all the time, feeling overwhelmed, or just feeling off? Then you are the perfect client for my services. I have helped hundreds of individuals over the years improve the quality or their lives.
Often I hear in sessions "I did not think of that" or "I did not look at that like that". I strive to provide you options you did not know existed. I do not believe that one treatment modality fits all. I am willing to meet you where you are ready to start your treatment. My methods are eclectic and unique, just like the people assist.
Today you are on the path to a stronger and more resilient you! Broadsword seeks to provide services to those in need of hope, and to be a supportive teammate on the road to a life with less psychological pain and more emotional control. Broadsword's overall goal is to help provide individuals with positive tools and skills to enrich their lives.

I am a very eclectic therapist. I am versed in CBT, CPT, Prolonged Exposure, DBT, and many more. Constantly I find that not one modality fits every time and i pull from others. In other words, I try to find what works for YOU, and am not ridged in modalities.
