If life's challenges are taking a toll on your mental well-being, know that help is available. If you get the feeling things aren't quite right or notice a shift from your usual, more positive self, there is support. When the little things pile up and become overwhelming, rest assured that I understand, and you're not alone. My knowledge covers areas like anxiety, infidelity, trauma, PTSD, and cumulative PTSD. Specifically, if you're a first responder or someone making decisions that impacts others, I have expertise in these realms and can offer personalized support.
In my approach, I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy, a model that focuses on your strengths, resilience, and achieving goals. I get that dealing with trauma, stress, and the impact of life's critical incidents can be tough. I offer traditional sessions but can offer other settings such as "walk and talks" to discover what suits you best.
My education and life experience helps me understand and explore your feelings during our sessions. I strive to be a partner on your journey towards better mental health and greater resilience.

I retired as an assistant chief of police from a large department. I worked with Veterans at the Houston Veterans Hospital. My two sons served in the military, so these populations are near to my heart. My experience provides a unique life perspective in understanding and providing relevant therapy.

I work from a solution-focused approach. This is a type of therapy that places importance on discussing solutions rather than problems. While the problem will be discussed to find a solution, beyond understanding what the problem is and deciding how to address it, solution-focused therapy will not dwell on details of the problem one may be experiencing.
