Who I Work With

I often work with those suffering from any form of emotional dysregulation. I have a deep passion for helping those recover a sense of self after they have experienced bullying or other forms of abuse. Helping couples discover new grounds for healthy communication and increased affection is another client focus area.

Travis’ passion is to help others return to the joy of life they once had and experience the hope in the potential future ahead of them. Counseling is a place where you can collaborate and work together on finding solutions to life’s issues by exploring what you really need to heal and grow into becoming a more stable individual or couple.

Ultimately, his goal when working with clients is to help them understand how the past impacts them, how our self-talk affects our progress, and how building new coping strategies to unbearable emotions or thoughts can pave the way to new, healthy changes. Whatever your goals might be, it will be a welcome place to work on them, no matter where you're starting.

While counseling can be intimidating because of the vulnerability it requires of you, Travis is focused on ensuring that you are safe, known, equipped with the right tools, and have the chance to develop a sense of confidence that you can live this life well. Your experiences will be met with the highest level of respect, dignity, and compassion.
