Life is hard and full of change. Sometimes we need help navigating those changes and transitions in life. I get that, because I also experience them. After almost 18 years in law enforcement, I made the transition to becoming a therapist. My ideal clients are adult men who are struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Injuries, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Financial Issues, and Process Addictions. These issues can have a negative impact in marriages so I also work to help couples restore their marriages.
