Real Talk Therapy & Consultation provides a compassionate and culturally responsive space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I work with Veterans, men, first responders, and individuals from historically underserved communities who may feel pressure to appear strong while carrying emotional burdens alone. I also support clients healing from spiritual or church-related trauma and offer Christian-informed counseling when faith is important to their healing. My goal is to help clients build resilience, gain clarity, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
I specialize in trauma, men’s issues, and the mental health needs of Veterans and first responders. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy to help clients build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and develop practical strategies for lasting emotional wellness.
Seeking therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you are used to carrying challenges on your own. You deserve a space where your experiences are heard and your growth is supported. If you are ready to begin healing, strengthening relationships, or gaining clarity in your life, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you in that process.

In the time I have known Travis he has shown me what it is to walk with a sense of worthiness and accountability. Travis has a gift in encouraging others to accept they are imperfect however deserving/worthy of what they can work towards as a dream.
