About My Clients
I work with a spectrum of diverse people seeking help for a variety of different problems. I work with individuals, couples/families that needed help for a wide range of issues: severe mental health disorders, trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, identity issues, communication issues, stress management, etc. The world can be a hectic place, demanding, and unrelenting. That said, it is also a beautiful place that we directly impact by simply being good stewards and positive influencers.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Throughout my life, I’ve been in the service of others. I am a US Army Veteran and served with distinction and honor. I have many years of experience teaching others and serving in mid-level and senior-level management positions in the Department of Defense. I would not have been successful if it were not for my love of people, seeing people succeed, and watching people move on stronger than they were when I met them. I identify as Bisexual, and I have a specialty working with LGBTQ+ people. I have children, been through divorce having been married for 14yrs to a woman, and am now in a long-term relationship to a wonderful man. I work fulltime for the Veterans Administration, supporting Veterans in their healing. I run LGBTQ+ groups for Veterans, and for LGBTQ+ people recovering from addiction. Let's talk! :)
