Welcome

Welcome to my practice. I provide compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health services designed to empower individuals to overcome challenges and achieve lasting personal growth. My approach blends clinical expertise with personal insight, ensuring every client receives tailored care in a supportive, respectful environment.

About Me

 I am a licensed mental health counselor and combat veteran with over a decade of service in the U.S. Navy, including a tour as a Hospital Corpsman on the front lines in Iraq. My personal journey through trauma and healing has deepened my understanding of how unresolved emotional pain can impact one’s life. Through years of dedicated therapy and counseling, I embraced holistic therapeutic practices that not only facilitated my recovery but now inform my professional work.

This unique background enables me to relate to the pressures and emotional challenges experienced by trauma survivors. I am committed to using my experience and expertise to guide clients on their path to recovery and self-discovery.
