Let's Connect (678) 771-6073

My ideal client is a first responder, crisis worker, counselor, or their family member, someone who has spent years being the strong one. They're exhausted, not sleeping, and struggling in relationships they can't explain. They may be using substances to cope. They've tried therapy before and found it too slow or too soft. What they need isn't another coping skill, they want real resolution. They're ready for a clinician who understands the culture, takes trauma seriously, and offers a path that actually leads somewhere.

I work with trauma survivors ready to move beyond managing symptoms. My focus is those who serve, law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, crisis workers, and counselors. I also serve their families, because when someone in your home is struggling, everyone feels it.

I specialize in therapy for those who serve others, counselors, first responders, crisis workers, their families, and organizations. I invite you to reach out for support

I treat PTSD, complex trauma, critical incident stress, burnout, substance abuse, and relationship disruption rooted in unresolved trauma. Treatment is structured and goal-directed, you'll always know where we are and where we're going. Using ETM TRT, clients can expect real resolution, not just coping skills — reclaiming sleep, relationships, and a sense of self.

Expect a clinician who is direct, culturally informed, and fully invested in your outcome.

This is not about managing symptoms. It's about resolving trauma-fully and finally, using a structured, proven approach called Trauma Resolution Therapy. You will find here a safe, confidential space with other men who get it.
