Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
As a combat veteran, I understand the importance of having a safe and supportive environment where one can explore their experiences and emotions.
As a combat veteran and trauma specialist, I bring a unique perspective to therapy that combines firsthand experience with professional expertise. My approach to treatment revolves around providing unconditional positive regard, ensuring you feel valued and respected throughout our therapeutic journey. I understand the complexities of trauma and the challenges it brings, and I'm committed to creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences openly and without judgment. In my practice, I focus on tailored interventions that address your specific needs, whether you're navigating post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, or other life challenges. I integrate evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help challenge negative thought patterns and Mindfulness-based interventions to promote grounding and relaxation. What sets my practice apart is my firsthand understanding of the military experience and trauma, allowing me to offer empathetic support and effective therapeutic strategies. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to achieve your goals and enhance your overall well-being.
