Hello! I’m Jeff, a Limited Licensed Practicing Counselor and Provisional Registered Art Therapist. Fifteen years of service in multiple branches of the U.S. military taught me the value of respect, resilience, and meeting people exactly where they are. I’ve carried those lessons into my clinical work—whether in outpatient clinics, hospitals, community outreach, or the field—and into the training I pursue in trauma‑informed care, grief counseling, multicultural competence, and mindfulness‑based interventions.
Therapy is a personal journey, and I will always meet you where you are. Sessions may focus on processing emotions, developing coping strategies, building communication skills, setting and achieving goals, or exploring meaning and identity. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I also incorporate dream and nightmare work, mindfulness, breath work, and practical self-care techniques, depending on what best supports your goals. While Art Therapy is part of my background, the work we’ll do together at this practice focuses on talk- and skills-based methods.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, as a couple in a relationship, or your family as a group, my goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, loss, work-related disability, relationship difficulties, chronic physical illness such as Cancer, MS, or Rheumatoid Arthritis, or any life challenge, know that you are not alone. I invite you to reach out—together, we can begin the process of healing and growth. Your story matters, your feelings are valid, and your future holds hope.
