I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and earned a Masters of Arts in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling and a Masters of Divinity with an emphasis in New Testament Theology from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary. My Masters work in traumatic stress has led me to specialize in Trauma and PTSD in both adults and children as well as post graduate study in neurophysiology.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

They can expect to walk into a open and caring environment were I work to the best of my ability to create a therapeutic alliance with them. I spend the first session getting to know them and understand what the presenting problem is, and to help them feel they are in a safe environment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Compassion, validation, listening, and work in helping clients to become stronger within themselves. I do not give up on my clients.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have experience in Law Enforcement, firefighting, and EMS. I have experience in ministry working as pastor, chaplain, and pastoral counselor. Before opening my private practice I worked as a therapist at the College of the Sequoias, Visalia Youth Services and with Trinity Ministries Group. I work with adults, adolescents, children, family, and couples. I enjoy working with adolescents and children with behavioral, mood, and anxiety problems. I work with the military, law enforcement, firefighters, and paramedics, and their families. My approach is to come along side of you to assist you in developing healthier relationships and coping skills.
