Life is challenging. It can create feelings or thoughts of being trapped or lost with nowhere to go. It is deflating at times. To add to this confusion, these emotions or thoughts often get mixed together and it makes it hard to unravel or sort it out. Where do we start? As a veteran and licensed counselor, I have experienced and witnessed the "hardship rollercoaster" we call life. If you are experiencing the same, I can help. Through exploration and problem-solving skills, together we can address your concerns.
I have over two decades of military service and several years of correctional counseling. I can help veterans, first responders, and at-risk youths and adults. Together, we can address your anxiety, depression, ADHD, and grief concerns.
I recognize that taking the first step to seeking therapy is the most difficult. Regardless if it my services or the services of another therapist, I hope you find the peace are looking for in your life. I also encourage you to continue pushing forward and get back up when life knocks you down. You are stronger than you know.

I approach therapy using problem-solving approaches. However, I also believe that reflecting on past events can help address present concerns.
