Code 3 Mind Health™

Combining my experiences as a Psychologist, Fire Captain (Ret.), and Trauma Specialist, I provide compassionate and nonjudgmental care for emergency responders, military, and their families. For over twenty years, I have been providing psychological services that focus on trauma treatment. Working with Mind Health, a treatment approach I developed for balancing and integrating neurological psychology with the physical, mental, emotional, social, relational, and spiritual aspects of individuals, and with comprehensive and culturally competent services, Healing is Possible! Brainspotting, developed out of EMDR by David Grand, is a powerful trauma treatment modality I use effectively with many people. Other trauma treatment approaches I incorporate: Emotional Freedom Technique “EFT Tapping,” and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
