Facing your wilderness with compassion, courage and clarity

My story

After serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I embarked on a profound journey of reintegration and self-discovery, transcending my military experience to explore the depths of the human condition. My quest led me from the adrenaline-fueled life of a bike messenger and the reflective halls of seminary to a doctoral program and career focused on adversity, loss, and moral injury.

My work, as both an international consultant and founder of Threshold Psychological Services, is a testament to my belief in the transformative power of partnership, creativity, and nature in healing. My approach, deeply rooted in personal experience and professional expertise, offers a unique, evidence-based path to growth and healing, while inviting clients to venture into the unknown in pursuit of purpose, connection, and joy.

My Services

As part of my practice at Threshold Psychological Services I offer:

Individual Psychotherapy

I offer evidence-based psychotherapy to help you integrate heartbreak, rage, sorrow, shame, guilt and anguish. Together, we'll work towards reclaiming your life, experiencing safety, joy and connection, and finding renewed purpose. Talk to me about evidence-based treatment for PTSD.

Couple Therapy

I specialize in rebuilding trust and intimacy after betrayal, upheavals, significant losses, as well as day to day issues that accumulate over time. Through compassionate and effective therapy, utilizing Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy, we'll navigate the path to a stronger relationship.

Wild Therapy

Experience the transformative power of nature while completing an evidence-based course of treatment. Whether working through PTSD while surfing, or learning emotion management skills on a gravel bike ride, we can design a course of treatment that is both life- changing and awe-inspiring.

Consultation

As a recognized expert in trauma-focused psychotherapy, I offer consultation services to mental health professionals, organizations, and community groups. I provide guidance on implementing evidence-based practices, navigating moral injury, and supporting distressed populations.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is a distinctive blend of evidence-based practices and immersive, nature-based experiences, aimed at guiding you through the complexities of life-threat, threats to body integrity, loss, betrayal, and personal transgressions. I believe in the power of partnership and active participation, creating a space where you can explore your resilience and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. 

By integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotion-focused therapy, and wilderness adventures, I tailor my methods to meet your unique needs, fostering emotional efficacy and a deeper sense of purpose. My innovative, client-centered approach transcends traditional therapy, empowering you to harness your inner strength and navigate life's challenges with confidence and joy.
