I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field providing counseling and mental health therapy services. Most often, I work with adolescents and adults (including members of the Emergency Services and military communities) who have anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and traumatic stress-related disorders.
I am a retired veteran with multiple overseas deployments. I am a certified Military & Family Life Counselor and have a special focus on the treatment of military life issues such as PTSD, living with a TBI, marital discord, and military sexual assault. |

My practice has been inspired by:
the Belief that suffering produces perseverance, but requires deliberate focus to overcome it;
and knowing that Hope does not disappoint, but fuels us to move forward;
and ultimately the Truth is that change is always possible when you allow it to happen!
