It is my desire to give help and hope to people who suffer as a result of childhood trauma. I want them to know that there are therapists like me who know and understand firsthand the difficulties of living with PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I want them to know that there are people who can help them manage more successfully with the aftereffects of childhood trauma.

My mission is to be as helpful as I can possibly be to people that suffer as a result of childhood trauma. I want to continue to expand my knowledge and skills to become the best possible trauma therapist that I can be. I want to continue my practice in order to help as many people as possible. I want to share all of my understanding, thoughts and ideas about PTSD in written form so that they can reach as wide an audience as possible. I want to educate as many loved ones of people with PTSD as I can regarding what it is like to live with PTSD and how to have a successful relationship with someone with PTSD. And, I want to educate as many therapists as I can regarding what it is like to live with PTSD and what is helpful in working with people with PTSD.

I started on my mission by becoming a therapist. I refined it by focusing my practice on PTSD. And I expanded it by offering therapy groups for clients with PTSD and by writing articles presenting my perspective on PTSD. I see this web page as the next step in the advancement of my mission. A future goal is to write and publish books, one for people with PTSD, one for the partners of people with PTSD, and possibly one that is my own life story.
