Short Bio
Timothy works with adults carrying the weight of trauma and addiction, the kind of struggles that can make you feel stuck, disconnected, or like you're fighting the same battle over and over without getting anywhere. His approach is steady and structured: he believes real change comes from building skills you can actually rely on, not from quick fixes that fade once life gets hard again.
Before becoming a therapist, Timothy spent 21 years in the Air Force as an aircraft mechanic, retiring as a Master Sergeant. That background shaped how he works today, he values discipline, follows through on what he says he'll do, and brings a calm, methodical presence to sessions rather than vague reassurance. He's also studied martial arts for over 17 years, including earning a black belt in Wing Chun, which deepened his belief that lasting growth comes through consistent practice, not willpower alone.
Timothy has spent his career helping people navigate trauma, addiction, and the relationships affected by both, including time in residential treatment and crisis intervention work with veterans through the VA. He's trained in EMDR and several evidence-based trauma therapies, which he draws on depending on what each client actually needs.
If you're looking for a therapist who will be direct with you, hold you accountable, and help you build a foundation that actually holds up over time, that's the work Timothy does. He sees clients in Murfreesboro in office and virtually across Tennessee.
