I work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds, including first responders, veterans, and men who are facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. I provide trauma-informed, practical therapy grounded in insight, accountability, and real-world tools. Early sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, helping clients identify patterns and build stability. With 30+ years of combined law enforcement, military, and clinical experience, I offer a direct, respectful approach at Man Talk Trauma & Couples Therapy in Roseville.
As a combat veteran and retired law enforcement officer, I offer practical, trauma-informed therapy for men, couples, and high-stress lives. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Brainspotting, along with straightforward, skills-based approaches, to help you work through trauma, improve relationships, and create lasting change.
You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself. When life feels heavy or overwhelming, having a place where you can be heard and understood can make a real difference. If you feel ready, you’re welcome to reach out and begin taking steps toward relief, clarity, and support.
