Veteran Referrals are Welcome. I'm a Mental Health Counselor and a Disabled Veteran with experience in Correctional Counseling and Substance Abuse Groups, trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy for PTSD and MST for both Men and Women. I also counsel and engage with the LGBTQ+ community. Trauma is not just in Veterans, but also in everyone who has dealt with childhood to adult trauma. I can walk you through the therapeutic process to assist you with the issues you are dealing with.
I have a calm and soothing environment to talk about the issues that you may be going through.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings. Depending on the client's issues, the treatment modality will be used.
