*** I HAVE LIMITED AVAILABILITY AND AM ONLY ACCEPTING FIRST RESPONDERS OR ACTIVE/RETIRED MILITARY AS NEW CLIENTS*** Welcome. Seeking help is a big step. Now you need to find the right therapist. I believe the most important factor in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I strive to make that relationship safe, open and honest. My goals in therapy are to provide clients with the tools and strategies they need to live a better life and to learn to focus on solutions instead of problems.

I'm a retired police officer and have provided critical incident (CISM) services to public safety agencies around the Cape for many years. Because of my background, I especially appreciate assisting First Responders, as I personally understand the difficulties of their jobs.

I provide varied services like 60 or 30 minute sessions, teletherapy and office-based sessions, and phone support. I have daytime and evening hours available. Please contact me to schedule a no-cost 30 minute Informational Meeting if you think I may be able to help. We can talk and see if we'd be a good fit together. Good luck with your efforts!

Generally, treatment consists of getting to know each other, building trust, determining goals, then learning strategies and developing tools that can help you reach your goals. We build off each session to keep moving forward. I don't believe in generic 'talk therapy'.
