Therapist | Trauma Specialist | Combat Veteran

I’m a trauma-focused therapist with specialized training in EMDR,  exposure-based modalities, somatic integration, Cognitive Processing  Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and NARM. My clinical work  centers on helping clients—especially veterans, first responders, and  high-performance professionals—process trauma, reconnect to themselves,  and live more authentic, grounded, and connected lives.

Before  becoming a therapist, I served over 20 years in the military, including  leading infantry operations in Iraq and defusing hundreds of IEDs as a  Marine EOD technician in Afghanistan. I understand what it means to  operate under pressure—and what happens when the survival skills we once  relied on begin to isolate us or break us down.

I  don’t see people as broken. I don’t believe in fixing what’s “wrong.” I  believe in enhancing what already works- what’s “right”. Together, we  build on your strengths, challenge what’s no longer serving you, and  reconnect you with a life of meaning, purpose, and connection.  Fulfillment, confidence and contentment are my goals, both for myself  and those I have the honor of serving.   

I’m  currently a Doctor of Social Work candidate at the University of  Southern California and practice here in St. Augustine, Florida.
