Update as of 5/20/25: I am only accepting military, former military, Reserves, and First Responders at this time. Feeling unmotivated, worried, hurt, angry, and/or exhausted but don't know how to take the next step toward change and need help? Oftentimes we need someone to listen to us, reflect, and challenge our negative thinking, while supporting/acknowledging our feelings as we work through an issue. Other times, there are deeper issues from our past that hold us back from being the confident, engaging person we want to be, and this is where I can help you help yourself. You will do the work and I will be your guide.

Seeking out therapy takes vulnerability, trust, and courage for whatever the challenge you are going through. In addition to listening and reflecting, I will provide you with specific tools, homework assignments, and we will work on your goals together. I have experience working with combat trauma, sexual trauma, childhood abuse, and other events.

Moving Past the Storm has been my way of seeing how we can move through life's crushing waves to calmer seas and safe harbor. You can review my history, therapeutic techniques, and more below, and on my website. I will provide a free 30-minute consult with you when you contact me when you are ready.

First know that I cannot change you- that must come from within. I will provide you with support, tools, and teach you how to be accountable to yourself so you develop confidence and the ability to make progress throughout your life.

"

I mostly use Cognitive CBT, SFT (Solution Focused Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing. Depending on the need, I will pick from multiple treatment types. Many sessions will have homework (15-30 mins per week) to engage you in between sessions and practice what you have learned. It's important to understand that you will be learning a new habit, which, when practiced, changes old behaviors.
