Introduction

I chose clinical mental health counseling after 32 years of active duty in the U.S. Navy, wanting to pay forward the support that makes a real difference during life’s hardest seasons. As a Resident in Counseling at Chesapeake Counseling Center, I work with clients ages 5 and up, including veterans and military families, couples navigating relationship strain, and neurodivergent clients learning to work with their brains rather than against them. I know what it means to carry responsibility for others and to hesitate to ask for help yourself. My trauma-informed approach means you set the pace—nothing is rushed. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools you can use right away. Faith is welcome if it matters to you; otherwise, it stays out of the room. I’m accepting new clients for individual, couples, and family sessions, with groups starting in 2027. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
