About My Clients

I serve children, couples, adults, military personnel, veterans, and faith-based caregivers navigating trauma, grief, moral injury, and life transitions. My approach integrates CPT, solution-focused strategies, suicide prevention, emotional intelligence, and spiritual care. Clients often seek clarity, healing, and purpose when facing complex challenges across personal, professional, and spiritual domains.

My Background and Approach

As a licensed therapist, doctoral- candidate, Army Chaplain, and seminary professor, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through trauma, grief, moral injury, and life transitions. My training includes Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), solution-focused strategies, suicide prevention, emotional intelligence, and spiritual integration. Clients benefit from a structured, strengths-based approach that honors both their emotional and spiritual needs, helping them move from confusion to clarity, from pain to purpose.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing is both clinical and spiritual. As a chaplain, therapist, and educator, I am committed to restoring dignity, purpose, and resilience in those navigating trauma, grief, moral injury, or just everyday life challenges. I value integrity, compassion, and evidence-based care rooted in faith and service. I support military families, Christian caregivers, and those seeking meaning in suffering. I advocate for trauma-informed systems, emotional intelligence, and culturally humble care. My work reflects a deep respect for the whole person, mind, body, and soul, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered to grow.
