About My Clients
Ideal client is the one who thinks there is no hope and that they cannot rise above their trauma. I appreciate the challenge because it makes their victory that much sweeter. To watch a client have a breakthrough is rewarding to the say the least. Watching the entire family heal is one of the best things that could happen and to see relationships mend is truly something I cannot express in words.
My Background and Approach
The ambulance rocked gently as it came to a stop, the hum of the engine fading into the tense quiet. The dispatch details replayed in your head, fragmented but urgent. “Did you confirm on the radio?” you asked your partner, your voice steady but your chest tight. “Yeah,” he replied, already grabbing his gloves. You reached for your stethoscope and the jump bag, adrenaline beginning its steady climb as you swung open the door. Before you could take two steps, a woman burst into view. She was running toward you, her cries breaking through the still air. Tears streamed down her face as she clutched a child in her arms. Without hesitation, she thrust the lifeless body into your hands. Her voice cracked with words you couldn’t understand, but the raw anguish needed no translation. The child was so small, her weight almost nonexistent. Barely two years old, her head lolled back, her body limp. For a moment, everything froze. The cries of the mother faded, the world narrowed.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the power of resilience and the human capacity for growth, no matter how difficult the journey. My experiences as a USAF combat medic and EMS Critical Care Paramedic have given me firsthand knowledge of trauma and strengthened my commitment to helping others navigate their paths to healing. Outside of therapy, I am a competitive bodybuilder, a dedicated hunter, and, most importantly, a family man. I’ve been married to my wife for 21 years, and we share the joy of raising three wonderful children. These personal aspects of my life ground me and remind me of the importance of balance, connection, and perseverance. In my work as a therapist, I bring these values into the counseling relationship. I emphasize collaboration and creating a safe space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and build the lives they deserve. My goal is to combine professional expertise, lived experience, and a deep understanding of trauma to guide you toward healing and growth.
