I believe that life is more challenging than ever and many face difficult situations and struggles. My emphasis in practice is thought based.

I consider it a privilege to be able to participate in the helping relationship, working to help clients navigate through the challenges, struggles and joys of life.

I believe that every person is worthy of being the leader of their own fulfilled life.

Trauma impacts us all. Some of us carry trauma from our childhood days, others serve our communities and country in vocations that inevitably hold high trauma impact, and yet others simply live day in and day out in todays culture of high expectations towards performance and low expectations on self. Any of these things can be traumatic enough. The good news is that there is a science behind trauma, and an even more specific science behind first responder/military trauma impact. All of the symptoms that often times show themselves from trauma are treatable.
