More about George

- LPC, LCPC
Over the last few years, I have had the honor to work with first responders, prior military, and their families to manage and heal from the disabling effects of trauma. This work expanded my career into the spaces of addiction, men’s issues, sexual trauma, grief and loss, and shame to name a few. Though this work I found a passion for working with relationships in trouble.
As a prior military Christian with a blended family of 30 years, I use my experiences together with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples to bring healing to individuals and families.
In this age of uncertainty there are many who are seeking clarity and direction. For some it is the past that we feel chases us. For others it is the unknowns of the future. I truly believe none of us have been dealt a hand in life that cannot be managed. Allow me to join you in your fight rather than fight alone.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
