First and foremost, I’m not the therapist for everyone. I don’t dwell on the past, assign blame, or encourage a victim mentality. Everyone carries some form of trauma, but my focus is on moving forward — taking back control rather than giving past experiences the power to have a negative impact on you. In our work together, we’ll be authentic. You can vent, swear, cry, whatever it takes. But most importantly, we’ll strategize. If you’re ready to identify what’s holding you back and take actionable steps to conquer it, I’m your guy.
As a veteran, I understand the challenges faced by military personnel and first responders. I specialize in trauma, substance use disorders, anger management, anxiety, early adulthood transitions, and self-improvement through exercise. I also work with teens struggling at home or school and anyone looking to become more functional than when they walked in.
My transition from being a Warrant Officer in the Army was not easy but I learned so much by pressing forward. I dealt with the gambit of issues anyone making a huge transition deals with. Before the Army I was a professional athlete and had to come to the realization that was ending too. Transition is hard but worth it and if your struggling I can help.

I often use Solution Focused Brief Therapy with a basis in Reality Therapy. I also like to focus on how traumatic experiences have exacerbated issues when attempting to function on a daily basis. We will look at what you've been through, where you are now, where you want to be, and talk about ways to get you there.
