For anyone seeking a new therapist, it’s important to understand not just what a therapist does, but why they do it. As a combat veteran, I struggled returning to a society that often didn’t make sense. I reached a point that reshaped my purpose: I never want anyone to feel alone, even when surrounded by love yet blinded by self-hate. My goal is to help others avoid the darkness I once experienced. So I often ask a simple question: “Why do you do what you do?” If you’re open to it, I’d be honored to help you explore that.
I take a direct approach to therapy grounded in unconditional positive regard. If you have a “booger,” I’ll be the first to tell you—not to embarrass you, but to help you. Honest feedback supports growth. My work focuses on helping clients make sense of traumatic experiences so they can move toward healing and meaningful personal growth.
I strongly believe in the instillation of hope. Therapy should not take an eternity; my goal is to empower clients with the insight and tools they need to achieve their goals and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
