First of all I’m a veteran and retired from the US Army. I have been a therapist for 8 years and have experience working with multiple modalities and almost all diagnoses at some point. I am also a Reiki and do holistic healing. I want to help others whether it’s building self confidence or dealing with trauma nothing is too small or too big to be treated.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is an intake where there will be a brief history but also building rapport and getting to know you. I feel therapeutic connection is important to make you feel comfortable and accepted

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Being a veteran and experienced trauma myself has made me very empathetic and insightful to help clients learn to live a happier and balanced life after dealing with their traumas. I also treat anxiety, depression and mood disorders, personality disorders, and most diagnosis.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with veterans and anyone that has trauma that has affected their lives. I have dedicated most of my life to the service of others and want to continue helping others in their time of need.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I have been certified in EMDR for 5 years and have healed many clients with PTSD and trauma. Also successfully treated clients for anxiety, depression, addiction, nightmares, and many other symptoms.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

CBT is what I like to call a “catch all”” it’s a great supplement to other therapies but also great own it’s on.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT is great for personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
