I licensed professional board certified psychotherapist, and certified trauma therapist that believes in meeting clients where they are. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! My focus is working with individuals suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship conflict, and women's issues.
My experience centers on supporting clients of all ages through a wide range of life challenges. Guided by a solution-focused perspective, I believe holistic healing is a foundational part of effective client care. I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic modality that helps clients process trauma and other difficult life experiences that may interfere with personal growth, relationships, and mental health. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and other concerns that can make it difficult to feel grounded or move forward. I hold a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University and have received training in both play therapy and EMDR. I have also worked with clients experiencing dual diagnoses within the field of substance use disorders, which has deepened my understanding of the connection between emotional pain, coping, and healing.
In 2019, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and in 2022, I obtained my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. Both were from Texas A&M International University.

I know what it is like to walk through life's toughest moments. Divorce, an emotionally
abusive relationship, and raising two kids (one a teenager, one a young adult) taught me firsthand that healing is possible, and that nobody should have to do it alone.
Today I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience, a devoted father, and a former martial artist who traded the mat for the counseling room. I started out as a middle school shop teacher, and watching school counselors change students' lives is what led me to earn a master's in school counseling and then a second master's in counseling. If you are ready to feel less stuck and more likeyourself, I would be glad to walk alongside you.
I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it is also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.
You might feel stuck between who you thought you’d be by now and where life has actually taken you. Maybe you’re navigating a new diagnosis, old patterns that won’t let go, or relationships that feel like the same argument on repeat. As someone in long‐term recovery who once struggled to launch into adulthood, I understand how overwhelming it can be to rebuild your life from the inside out. I work with adults 17+ of all genders, and I have specific experience supporting people living with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and men who are exploring identity, emotions, and connection.
