Who We Are

Hello! I’m Ben and I’m the therapist at Safe Trails Counseling. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I specialize in evidence-based treatments for people living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), often accompanied by insomnia, chronic pain, depression, or anxiety. But let’s skip the textbook jargon – what that really means is that we’ll work together using scientifically proven methods to help you find relief and reclaim your well-being.

Before establishing Safe Trails Counseling, I gained valuable experience working with survivors of traumatic life events in Nebraska, Washington, and here in Kapolei, Hawai’i.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me baking sweets, spending time with my dog, or getting lost in the pages of a science-fiction novel (sometimes all at once, even if it means burning the occasional batch of cookies).

If you think we could work well together, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call me, text me, or fill out the form below to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to make a plan that fits your unique needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Mahalo nui loa,
Ben
