Military & Veteran Therapy

Military and Veteran Services

Military service is a sacrifice. Throughout history, our service members have weathered hardship, uncertainty, and danger across the globe. As a result, many shoulder psychological and emotional wounds that can negatively impact their health, relationships, and ability to successfully transition back into civilian life.

Why this work

Veteran-Informed Care

As a United States Marine Corps combat veteran, wounded warrior, and someone who’s navigated the ebbs and flows of war, recovery, and transition, I understand how anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress can negatively impact one’s psychological well-being, relationships, and ability to manage everyday life. By understanding these challenges, I bring a unique perspective and can help active-duty service members and veterans succeed.

FAQ

Common questions about military & veteran therapy.

I’m a United States Marine Corps combat veteran and licensed psychotherapist who has extensive training in the treatment of trauma-related conditions (e.g., PTSD), co-occurring substance abuse, and the challenges associated with military separation, retirement, and reintegration.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that can develop after witnessing and/or experiencing a life-threatening or shocking event. Standard treatments include psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions.

Moral injury is the emotional, behavioral, and spiritual damage caused by witnessing, perpetrating, or failing to prevent acts that deeply violate one’s moral code. If you are experiencing moral injury and would like to address it, trauma-focused psychotherapies may help.

Adjustment disorder is a short-term, stress-related mental health condition triggered by significant life changes (e.g., identity and role changes). Symptoms can include anxiety, agitation, depression, and behavioral disturbances. Standard treatments include psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions.

Self-medication is the use of substances or non-prescribed medications to alleviate physical and/or psychological symptoms. However, this can sometimes exacerbate symptoms and lead to a cycle of ongoing distress and increased substance use. Among active-duty service members and veterans, self-medication is common due to a prevailing stigma, fear of judgement, and occupational concerns.
