Welcome! First, I would like to congratulate you on taking this step to reach out for support and practicing self-care. Life is ever changing and can sometimes not meet our expectations. This can lead to feelings of sadness, self-doubt, guilt, hopelessness, and we don't know what to do. Sometimes we can successfully process these changes in a healthy way and other times we may find ourselves depressed and anxious about the future. In these times it is important to reach out for support as we can become eclipsed by our emotions and not "see" a solution.

At times, various stressors can overwhelm us, preventing us from fully enjoying and living life. Our challenges may seem like an enormous mountain blocking our path, leaving us feeling stuck and hopeless. However, instead of allowing the mountain to obstruct your progress, consider starting the climb, one step at a time. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support to help you achieve a satisfying and fulfilling life.

I am currently available to support clients with experiences of stress, trauma, relationship difficulty, and acute mental health diagnoses and work primarily as a somatic practitioner. Somatic Experiencing is an approach to healing trauma and addressing overwhelm and stress related conditions. It resets the nervous system, restores inner balance, enhances resilience to stress, and increases people's vitality, equanimity, and capacity to actively engage in life. I also utilize EMDR techniques as well as DBT techniques depending on the client's preference and responsiveness.

One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.
