About Me

About eighteen years ago at the age of twenty-two, I found myself sitting in a therapist’s office feeling completely alone and lost. I didn’t want to be there but scared to be anywhere else. Little did I know this experience would be one of the most important events in my life; it would be the catalyst I needed to discover myself as a man and discover my purpose in life. As a therapist, I do my best to give this experience to my clients as well, in their own way and purpose.

How I Work

My goal is to help client’s discover their own power and purpose. I listen to them and create a loving connection through respect, boundaries, and appreciation. Many of my clients have struggled with trust, intimacy, and connection. And so, as they begin to learn the value of these things and begin to establish them in their lives, I tear up.

To me, being a therapist is more than a job and I am proud of that. I utilize a number of powerful, yet safe and gentle therapeutic modalities including traditional therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, meditation, spiritual education, and holistic therapy to generate healing, forgiveness, and joy. I am passionate about breathwork, a healing modality using conscious connected breathing that encourages release of stress, negativity, suppressed negative thoughts and emotions, and pain stored in the body. The benefits of healing in this manner are stress reduction, joy, gratitude, ease, and comfort.

My Experience

I have a dynamic and extensive background as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Trauma Therapist, Certified Breathworker, and Reiki Master with over 16 years of experience in the field of mental health. I am licensed in Arizona, Florida, Missouri, and Washington as a Therapist.

I treat the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
