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.
