Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I am not a generalist practitioner. I do not see all types of clients. I am very specialized in combat military, military transition, first responders, and their families.
I believe in cutting the "fluff" and getting down to the "why" quickly. I am a very direct individual, that will always use tact and respect, but will say the hard things. I approach therapy slightly differently than most in order to create traction and momentum for those clients that have been stuck in the same cycle for a while and want out.
What does a first session with you look like?
We are going to get right into it. We will have the first part of the treatment plan in place and homework given after that very first session.
What are some the unique issues faced by clients in your particular field of specialization, in terms of mental health education, care, and/or treatment?
My clients and their unique issues can be described in the following way:
They are prized fighting dogs that are being retired without any deprogramming, rehabilitation, or mental health guidance. Upon retirement, they are then set lose on society and told not to attack or bite anyone, but are never told or shown, how. They struggle to assimilate and inevitably attack or bite someone.
