Therapist Overview
Thank you for your interest. I am a retired (2001) combat veteran with twenty years of military service. My credentials/licenses are in Marriage & Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, and Chemical Dependency. My therapeutic approach is based on cognitive behavior research which has found a strong correlation between thoughts and behaviors. Additionally I’ve used the Narrative Therapy approach in understanding the emotions stemmed in the client’s life experiences that shape many of their values and reactions to different types of stress. Currently working full time as a Marriage and Family Therapist. A good amount of my experience is combined with active duty Service Members and their families through Military One Source and Regence BlueShield and BlueCross. Outside of that I’m seeing patients on a case by case bases. I have been married to the same woman for 38 years (20 of those were active duty); I have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I am pro-marriage and pro-family. Whil
