We at CBPS are listing him on Psychology Today to make it easier for firefighters, police, and those with military experience to find him. In Jeff's words: "It is imperative to eventually accept reality, that no one is immortal or invincible. Strength and weakness are irrelevant in the end. Fact is, if you are subjected to trauma and high stress, it will impact your life and those around you. We need to remain truthful to ourselves and others in order to heal.”

My highest priority as a therapist is to cultivate a space for you as a client to feel safe, supported, and unconditionally accepted. My approach is person-centered first and foremost, while incorporating cognitive-behavioral and motivational interviewing methods to focus on the interplay between our thought life, emotional experiences, behavioral reactions, and motivations, and target what solutions are most effective and appropriate for you. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques to ground you both in the here and now of the session.
