About Me

As a veteran and person in long-term recovery, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to addiction and trauma work. I specialize in helping veterans, first responders, and individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.

My Approach to Therapy

I combine Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused CBT, and EMDR to address both addiction and underlying trauma. I believe sustainable recovery requires healing the whole person. My style is direct and honest, because I know from experience that real growth requires real honesty.
