As a mental health provider for 15 years, I offer direct, informal, and results-oriented treatment in a private, confidential setting. I have particular experience in men's and adolescent issues, combat and first responder trauma, depression and anxiety, addiction, PTSD, and issues around sexuality. I understand how all of these factors can affect relationships and personal functioning. I am comfortable and experienced with individuals in high-stress professions, though I also treat women, couples, and families of all kinds.
Many feel that seeking therapy is a weakness, but it is actually the first step towards strength. Fear of judgment, embarrassment, or having a problem dismissed as "unimportant" often keep people from seeking help that they know they need.
Once clients take the plunge, almost all come away realizing that therapy is making their lives better by granting them a sense of control and perspective. I provide a safe, private, and honest environment where clients can learn to identify their problems and find strategic solutions.
