About

Maybe someone who loves you asked you to look at therapist profiles, or maybe you're done pretending the ordinary days feel ordinary. Either reason is enough, and both bring people to me. I spent my first working life in another field entirely, and I think it made me a more practical, less precious clinician. Most of my clients are veterans. My focus is trauma and the substance use that so often shadows it, and we address both together, because they rarely take turns. You will not be asked to relive anything before you're ready; we prepare first, always, and that order matters more than people think. I keep my presence calm and my questions honest, and clients tell me that combination makes hard things sayable. There's no test to pass here and no story you need to have rehearsed. If you're tired of managing this alone, you're welcome exactly as you are.
