Life experiences can potentially bring out the absolute best in each of us. The ability to grow, restore, flourish, and achieve resiliency from these experiences produces a meaningful life. My objective is to broaden the therapeutic experience to embrace growth and personal development where desired. I believe in the power of hope and becoming and will provide a place to feel safe and validated without judgment. I have an earnest desire to help and work with you to find healing, resolve conflict, let go of anger, dispose of shame, and to find and know peace. I use an attachment theory approach and have acquired specific training in emotionally focused therapy (EFT).

I work with families, couples, and individuals to dramatically increase emotional awareness and gain a clear understanding of the meaning behind behaviors. My area of focus is well rounded from those struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, abuse, and neglect, to those who struggle with addictive behaviors, or those working through conflict between partners, siblings, and parent-child. I am specifically trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which is proven to help those who have experienced any form of trauma or who feel stuck, by replacing distressing images with positive ones and becoming free from intrusive thoughts.

I have been married to my supportive wife for 33 years and we are the parents of ten children. I keep busy outside of seeing clients running a retail business that I have owned for the past 28 years.

I can offer sessions in both English and Spanish.
