Veteran Referrals are Welcomed. I'm a Mental Health Counselor and a Disabled Veteran with experience in Correctional Counseling, Substance Abuse Groups, trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy for PTSD, MST, for both Men and Women. I also engage with the LGBTQ+ community. Trauma is not just in Veterans, but also everyone that have delt with childhood to adult trauma. I am able to walk you through the therapeutic process to assist you with the issues you are dealing with. Call me today for your first appointment.
Each client will be matched with the type of support that best fits them. From CBT to Trauma Based Therapy.
Each clinician has been trained to build a rapport to make the client comfortable and be able to talk freely about the issue that brings you into therapy.
