I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in Arizona, practicing under clinical supervision in accordance with Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners requirements. I am a Veteran and have lived a life marked by real adversity. I have experienced homelessness and understand, firsthand, what it takes to rebuild and move forward.

I work with adults who want a practical, straightforward approach to counseling. My style is structured and collaborative, with an emphasis on identifying patterns, building usable skills, and making steady progress rather than staying stuck in open-ended conversations.

I don’t believe therapy needs to be complicated to be effective. Sessions are focused, intentional, and grounded in what’s actually happening in your life.

My Approach

My work is informed by evidence-based practices, including cognitive and skills-based approaches. Therapy is tailored to your goals, pace, and needs, not dictated by insurance requirements or preset treatment limits.

We’ll focus on:

• Clarifying what’s driving current challenges

• Identifying unhelpful patterns and responses

• Developing practical tools you can use between sessions

• Reviewing progress and adjusting as needed

Therapy here is collaborative and goal-directed. It’s not crisis services, and it’s not open-ended by default.
