Up front, I'm not the therapist for everyone. I don't have a flowery sales pitch about self-fulfillment and safe spaces, I'll probably be wearing an old t-shirt and jeans, I encourage expressive profanity, and I have more tattoos than your average therapist. Most of my caseload is trauma and PTSD. Much of the trauma work involves complex trauma with co-occurring dissociation, personality disorders, substance abuse, and anger. My work with trauma clients includes adult and adolescent survivors of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, both active duty and retired military personnel, and first responders.
Follow the link above to my website to take a look around and find out more about what I do. I don't do couples or family work, however, I can provide referrals to providers who do.
Email is the best way to make contact. Look up and a little to the left and click the "Email Me" button. Thank you!

JJ is a gem and a gift to have here in Thomasville, GA. His skills at working with trauma are exemplary, and at the same time you can't get much more down to earth. He is so easy to talk to, full of compassion, and one of the best therapists I've known.
