I served for 26 years with the Army and National Guard and experienced many of the physical and psychological challenges so many of us face. After mixed results within the VA system, I sought alternative therapies. I decided to learn guitar as a form of therapy, and it evolved into something bigger and more meaningful than I could’ve imagined. Most importantly, I sought counseling through Guardian and came to realize how essential a faith-based approach is to my journey. For me, there is no true healing without Christ’s love.
