Providing a compassionate and empathetic approach is important when treating complex trauma, mental health, and addiction (substances and behavioral). Trauma is often the core problem to many struggles that individuals are experiencing. During therapy, I will provide a safe place for us to process trauma and work towards a place of post-traumatic growth.

As a dual diagnosis mental health therapist, who has had extensive training in treating complex trauma and addiction problems, it becomes imperative to get to the root cause of the presenting symptoms and problems an individual is struggling with.

By working from a person-centered theory, I feel I can meet a client where they are in treatment, and that is important in building therapeutic rapport and creating change. Change is difficult, and can be challenging, but it is worth it. Together, we will work to find Peace Through Change, and to create a life worth living, moving forward.

Complex Trauma, Addiction (both substances and behavioral addictions), Mental Health. Trauma treatment can be scary, and we try to avoid it at all costs, but avoiding the trauma only makes the presenting problems worse.

For over 20 years, I have dedicated my working career to the fields of medical, legal, and law enforcement. I have been a therapist since 2018, and specialize in working with the military, first responders (EMS, Fire Fighters, Law Enforcement), and all community populations, including incarcerated population.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many populations and cultures, and through those opportunities, it has allowed me to become a stronger counselor when working with clients to meet them where they are in their journey in life.
