If trauma has changed the way you think, feel, or react, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. I help Veterans, first responders, and civilians make sense of their symptoms, calm their nervous system, and rebuild the parts of life trauma has interrupted: trust, purpose, connection, and confidence. My approach is practical, direct, and grounded in lived civilian and military experience.
In my 50s, I began to ask myself, "But are you making a difference in the world?” I realized I could offer a place where we can work on your invisible injuries with the same passion doctors and nurses bring to our visible health. And it began to draw all kinds of people to this surprising, middle-aged cisgender, Caucasian guy…because they get results.
We all have a primal need to be heard, valued, and listened to. To have our thoughts, feelings, and ideas taken seriously. Most of us don't have someone who can do that without telling us what to do or not do, saying things like, "If I were you..." because they're not. I'm not you either but the difference is, I know that's a good thing: and you will too.

Preacher's kid, actor, alcoholic, homeless, soldier, combat veteran. Told my PTSD would "go away on its own"—it didn't. Finding real help changed my path. Now over 30 years sober, I'm a trauma therapist helping others find the support I couldn't.

I work with Veterans, First Responders, and others navigating trauma, PTSD, moral injury, life transitions, and addiction. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, angry, numb, or disconnected. Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, build practical tools for lasting change, and help you reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose.

"
I use a trauma-focused, practical approach integrating EMDR, CBT, and DBT. EMDR helps process unresolved experiences, CBT addresses unhelpful thought patterns, and DBT builds skills for managing emotions and relationships. Therapy is tailored, structured when needed, and focused on real, lasting change.
