What you can expect from work with Travis:

Above all, you will find an unconditional respect and appreciation for you as an individual, your inherent greatness, and a reverence for sharing the journey of life.  My approach to therapy is to create a space that draws upon my professional and personal experience which allows you to feel safe and supported without judgment.  With compassion and kindness I will help you examine your life and identify the events and patterns that have kept you from having the life you desire. I will be honest, direct, and I will caringly challenge you as a way to encourage self analysis and exploration. I have had extensive training in meditation, relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices and offer these as additional opportunities for personal growth.

You are your greatest resource. I believe that through the power of the therapeutic process you can identify solutions to the things that trouble you.  I will work with you to find healing, acceptance, and the freedom to be happy and at peace.
