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.

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Nashville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
