About
As a Latino man in long-term recovery from opioid addiction, I transformed my struggle with PTSD and ADHD into a passion for helping others find hope and healing through their own recovery journeys.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Mental Health Service Provider with 10 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, addiction, and life transitions. My background in biology and behavioral science gives me a unique, evidence-based perspective on emotional and physical healing. I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, identity issues, and substance misuse develop practical strategies for lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, where I specialized in trauma and addiction and received eye movement desensitization reprocessing training.. I integrate EMDR with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help clients replace negative core beliefs with healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking and coping.
I am passionate about helping clients rediscover hope and empowerment in their lives, relationships, and careers. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, and I don’t want clients to suffer in silence. I’m honored to walk alongside each person on their healing journey, reminding them that rescue is possible and recovery is real.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Nashville, TN can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Nashville therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.

We have anxiety therapists who can offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, and other coping mechanisms to help you manage and reduce anxiety.

Feeling like you’re the only person dealing with your particular form of anxiety can make it worse.

There is a wide range of treatment options available to you. Some clients choose to take medications but remember that their purpose is to treat the symptoms of anxiety – not the core cause. Anxiety therapy will help you dig deep, look back at your life, and find out why you’re experiencing anxiety in the first place. Here are a few types of therapy that prove successful in helping people with their anxiety problems:
Many people have gone through a traumatic experience that has led to their anxiety. Others are simply born with a higher likelihood of experiencing anxiety. When you work with us, you’ll work one-on-one with a counselor who will create a customized plan for you.
