Are you finding your moods becoming overwhelming, unstable? Sometimes there are just too many losses of family, friends, even Self, or occurring as a result of identifying as a Queer Community individual/ally, or having exposures to Military sexual trauma. All unresolved loss could find you needing to explore Self Truths for closure. Regaining peacefulness, Grounding, and mood stability is yours! And can help create more Effective Interpersonal relationships, as well as Recovery from any Addictions. Please don't hesitate to call/email/voicemail any questions, which will be answered with a free consult, usually in the same day.
Mindfulness and Spirituality help regain internal peace. I offer strength based clinically evidenced techniques, from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Eco Therapy, and the 12 Steps, to help bring awareness of Self within Family/Community, and teach all to seek their unique Truths of Resilience.
As a USMC Veteran, I still strive to serve our military community. Adulting children gives me a personal and professional realization of how Faith and Others have allowed wiseness to create closure. On rest days, I can be found laughing with my various fur-babies, Hiking with friends, in the Gym, Ocean Sailing, Planting flowers + Landscaping.
