Most of the time the hardest part of change is the decision to do something different. There are times when we need some help to bring focus, clarity, and peace to our lives. At Purple Heart Counseling, I utilize a mindfulness and introspective approach to help identify your thoughts and feelings. We can focus on your goals and strive towards you living a more optimal and healthy life. I would like to be able to help you create a safe place and a safe space that you feel comfortable to work on the issues that are impacting you. I welcome you to begin your journey today to a healthier tomorrow.

Get to know me

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

In the first will begin with an introduction and being exploring the challenges that you are facing. We will explore your history and work on setting goals and plans for future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having served in the military, it is very important to me to continue working with veterans, who suffer with PTSD and assist them in transitioning back to civilian life. I welcome you to begin your journey today to a healthier tomorrow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am a sex educator / therapist and work with individuals and couples dealing with many challenges: including relationship conflicts, issues with intimacy and sex, marriage counseling. I help individuals work on both men's and women's issues, helping process through past trauma and things that keep a person stuck in the past.
