Veterans Therapists in Roanoke, VA

Life is full of transitions and adjustments. Often, there are many aspects of life outside of our control, which can feel incredibly difficult to manage. We cannot control all of the things that happen to us, but we can begin our journey in processing and moving through it. Trust can take time to establish. Let’s build a place of safety to allow healing to begin. My practice is to walk alongside you from a stance of non-judgement and acceptance. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment related issues. I also have experience working with military personnel.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to address the following issues: male issues, pre-marital & marriage issues; race-related issues/social justice; academic issues; life planning & decision making; low-self esteem, parent-child issues; emotional well-being; communication; and conflict resolution. Many of my clients are teens, young adults, undergraduate & professional students, and clergy/spiritual leaders.

Member: Veterans Administration Community Care Network. I strive to create a safe and supportive experience in our work together as you move toward wholeness, stability, and peace.

Whether you have had therapy in the past, or if this is your first time, we can build on where are you are and create a stronger foundation. I am happy to go on this journey with you, and look forward to seeing the outcome!

Ideal clients arrive when something is missing, not working well, when confused, with emotional discomfort, loss or chaos in life. Together we look at thoughts and patterns that limit growth/well-being and begin to create more of what matters to you. As you discover solutions and find hope in everyday life, personal wisdom often emerges to guide you. My goal is to empower you as you transition into your best self and wellness.

Thank you for taking a step towards exploring yourself, cultivating more internal awareness, and identifying areas in your life where you seek healing and strive for growth. I can offer guidance during this sometimes intense and hopefully enlightening process. Being in therapy may bring challenging emotions to the surface. How comfortable are you in facing the past, present or emotions such as sadness, guilt, shame, anger, jealousy? Therapy can be a very co-creative process between us—the work stems from your intent, openness and motivation to witness yourself objectively, see patterns and start shifting those patterns.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

*Accepting new clients* The Center for Connection, Healing & Change focuses on the creation of secure, close, and satisfying relationships- within us and between us. We choose to specialize in relationships because we know the importance of satisfying connections for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Services explore the relationship we have with both ourselves and others; how well we can live with emotional ease, know who we are, ask for what we need, be responsive to loved ones, set boundaries, deal with loss, move through stressful experiences, find our purpose, and access resilience in moments of need.

I specialize in trauma therapy and recognize how past traumatic experiences impact a person's mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Trauma therapy is essentially rooted in understanding the connection between a person's emotional responses and the traumatic experience. Trauma-focused therapy offers many strategies and skills to assist a person in processing emotions and memories tied to the traumatic experiences. The objective in trauma therapy is to create a more adaptive meaning while gaining a better understanding of past experiences that took place during childhood or adult life.

Currently NOT accepting new clients. Together we will move through areas in your life that are challenging. Let's move together through challenging transitions. Sometimes the challenge is due to experiences considered traumatic - when an event or events have overwhelmed your nervous system such as divorce, illness, loss. Don't let these experiences prevent you from evolving into your best self. Move out what could be holding you back. You owe this to yourself. I am here to help. Call me if you want to diminish symptoms, you want to enjoy life, have more joy, and especially choice. Move from survive to thrive.

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).
