You might look like you have it all together, but inside, it’s a different story—waves of self-doubt, flashes of painful memories, or a quiet sadness that won’t go away.

Even when life looks stable from the outside, it can feel like you’re barely holding it together. You might find yourself constantly second-guessing your worth, overwhelmed by self-criticism, or struggling to show up in relationships the way you want to. These patterns often trace back to old pain—childhood wounds, complicated family dynamics, or experiences of betrayal and loss—that still echo in your present. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Redlands in 2016 & bring specialized training in EMDR, ACT, CBT, and DBT to help adults who feel stuck begin to reconnect with themselves and feel more at ease.

I help men throughout California confront their trauma, understand the impact it has on them and their relationships, build healthier coping strategies, and start to heal from the wounds inflicted by the abuse/ assault.
Nothing can erase the past; however, with detailed understanding of how men experience abuse, the proper support and guidance and, most importantly, the safe space to begin the emotional healing, life can get so much better. One size doesn’t fit all. Different situations require different approaches. I work with clients one-on-one and in groups.

Therapy is for coping, healing, and growing. It unlocks your life - allowing it to operate smoother, easier. Our mental, emotional, and physical states break down during grief, trauma, life transitions, crisis, and relationship distress. Let's shrink those issues together! I live in San Diego, but grew up and have held a practice in Atlanta for 20 years. Licensed in both states, so if you travel, go to school, or work in both states it can open up that virtual option for you since we have to be licensed in the state "where your feet are" at the time of our session.

On the surface, your life looks fine—good even. But inside, there’s a gap you can’t seem to bridge between how you’re perceived and who you actually are. Maybe you’ve found yourself stuck in loops of overthinking, questioning everything you do, or feeling disconnected from the person you once were. You’re tired of waking up filled with anxiety, dread, or a vague sense that something’s just not right. Maybe you’ve tried quick fixes to push those feelings down, or even been to therapy before but didn’t make as much progress as you’d hoped. You’re searching for something deeper. A way to find clarity and make real change in your life.

I help individuals and couples in California and Connecticut navigate intimacy concerns, low desire, sexual anxiety, relationship conflict, and the impact of trauma on sex, intimacy, and emotional connection. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling confused, stuck, or disconnected from their bodies or partners—and wanting something to change, even if they’re not sure where to start.

Sexual assault/domestic violence victims, and sex workers receive a free initial consultation.
Being a woman or girl today has gotten increasingly complex! You were raised to believe what you were told. Your parents told you one thing. Your friends another. Throw in societal expectations and the media..? And now you want something more fulfilling. More fun. More…you! You’re afraid of being labeled. The people you date are the ones you are “supposed to,” not who you want. Maybe sex has been painful or unfulfilling and you want to understand why. Your sexual self is yours alone. But how do you sort your truth from everyone else’s? You want something different, but you are not sure how to talk about it.

Hello, I was born and raised in Stockton, California. I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 17 and in 1997, after 25 yeas of service, I retired from the Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I worked as a Farrier (Horseshoer), as well as a structural welder (Ironworker), as those were the most marketable skill that I had. I came to a point where old injuries came back to haunt me and I could no longer walk (several years later, thanks to a surgery through the VA, I can walk again; thankful for that).
