About me

I am a 32 year Air Force veteran. I served on active duty for 24 years retired and went back to work two weeks later at my same Air Force job as a GS-11 Civilian employee. I have experience treating trauma with military veterans and first responders.
I am licensed in Florida with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and self confidence.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Let’s get you on the road to living the life that you deserve! The power is within you.

Absolutely the best. Very approachable, excellent listener and has direct relevant responsiveness. Background is diverse so he has much experience to draw from. Highly recommend.

This being my first time having a therapist it has been great with Richard, He listens, he lets me rant and rave about my problems and actually shows that he cares. I have a lot of issues that I feel I can only bring to him because he actual gives me a way to actually think through what I'm going through so that if it happens to me and I don't see him I'm able to work through it on my own. I'm extremely happy with who they linked me with.
