As a former member of a special operations military unit, I understand and can empathize with directly- and indirectly-related issues.
People who want to climb Mt. Everest and make it back safely often hire a highly skilled guide—frequently one of the famous indigenous people, the Sherpas—to help them find their way and carry some of the baggage. Here, if your daily life is feeling like a long, hard climb up a steep mountain, similar assistance is available in the form of therapists such as myself, who have made that climb hundreds of times, know the way, and are experienced handlers of baggage. If you need a skilled companion, I would be honored to join your expedition.
I believe one of the most important things I can do as your therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows for trust and exploration.
As a therapist who has been in the field for 9 years, I understand how complex each individual's story can be.
The core values that guide our work together will be rooted in empathic understanding, validation, and the creative use of evidence-based treatments.
I understand the importance of meeting clients where they are, and I work to tailor treatment approaches to meet individual needs and goals.
