LCSW, 12 years of experience
I have experience working with high-profile athletes and clients. Additionally, I have worked with veterans, first responders, couples, and adolescents from diverse populations. My specialties include life changes, relationship issues, LGBTQ, self-esteem, and substance abuse. I also have extensive experience working with individuals and their families struggling with addiction, as addiction is a family disease. I am also an independent clinician practicing as part of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) Mental Health Directory. I served for 10 years in the United States Marine Corps and specialize in working with active and reserve members, veterans, and their families of the armed forces. If you are a veteran or active duty member having trouble reintegrating with your family, or struggling with substance abuse look no further! Help is here! I work extremely hard to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where my clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves. My approach is direct and honest, and I hold my clients accountable while providing feedback that fosters personal growth. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity

Reality therapy, developed by Dr. William Glasser, is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment rather than past experiences. It helps individuals identify and meet their basic needs—such as love, power, freedom, and fun—through realistic and attainable goals. The therapy encourages clients to evaluate their current behaviors and make positive changes to achieve a more satisfying and fulfilling life. By fostering a strong therapist-client relationship, reality therapy empowers clients to take control of their lives, make better choices, and develop effective problem-solving skills.
