Core Client Focus

If you’re an adult feeling anxious or depressed, you’ll be met with warmth, humor, and deep clinical skill—without the waitlists, quick fixes, or burnout energy. Many of my clients are men navigating anxiety or depression that’s quietly been there for years. Some were raised in homes where feelings weren’t safe or emotional needs ignored. Others come in ashamed of coping behaviors—porn, hookups, overeating, infidelity, betting, or getting high. While often labeled “addictions,” these behaviors usually mask deeper wounds.


Specialties

I specialize in PTSD, sexual assault, and coercive control—including emotional, psychological (sometimes called narcissistic abuse), sexual, financial, and litigation abuse. I also support survivors navigating retraumatizing systems in civil, criminal, and family court. As a litigation abuse expert, I work with cases where an abuser weaponizes family court or Hague Convention litigation as a vehicle for continued coercion and control.


My Approach

I am trained and certified in EMDR therapy (EMDRIA), ideal for processing deep trauma. I frequently draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address numbing and addictive behaviors associated with PTSD and CPTSD. My approach also includes somatic, or body-based, interventions—such as Trauma-Informed Strength Training™ and Trauma-Informed Boxing™—to help release trauma stored in the body and invite the mind back to the body.

At The Business of Healing™, we specialize in working with survivors of sexual assault and coercive control. We also have extensive experience helping adults manage depression and anxiety. Our approach is rooted in decolonizing the therapeutic experience, challenging traditional healthcare structures, and recognizing the impact of both the client's and our cultural identities in the therapeutic process.
