Are you a First Responder, Chaplain, Pastor, active or retired, looking for an excellent counselor to talk to who won't be disgusted by what you may say? To be able to talk about what you've seen & done without repercussions? Why not speak to a counselor who has had over 20 years experience as a First Responder? I have been a Paramedic/Lt. Firefighter/Training Officer, 911 ECO, Reserve Deputy Sheriff, & an Armed Security Patrol Officer-FTO. Being a First Responder is rewarding, but difficult work. You're taking the first & hardest step in seeking help; I'm here to help you navigate through the rest.
As a retired First Responder, I can connect with you on your issues & concerns, whatever they may be. Not because I read it in a book, or have a relative who was a First Responder, but because I was a First Responder for over 20 years with "boots on the ground" experience. I've had my share of OTJ trauma/PTSD, & alcohol addiction (sober for over 10 yrs).
When I say, "I'll meet you where you're at", I mean it. I understand some people don't care to sit in an office & talk. It can be uncomfortable, & even triggering for some. You may be more comfortable in the corner of a coffee shop, or book store, some place warm in winter. Or in warmer weather, a park bench, golf course, or even fishing on a dock or boat.

I use a variety of treatments and theories. I believe I need to get to know my client before "assigning" a specific theory or treatment plan. Not every theory works the same for every person. Everyone is different & I respect that.
