More About Me
Now Accepting New Clients
I have developed a deep passion for providing therapeutic services to a diverse range of clients, specializing in crisis intervention, substance use disorders, trauma, and complex mental health challenges. My experience in this field has been shaped not only by direct clinical work but also by my extensive volunteer efforts with Rollins Office of Title IX & Violence Prevention, where I designed and implemented innovative strategies to support survivors of sexual trauma. These experiences have reinforced my commitment to advocacy and healing, ensuring that those in need receive compassionate and effective care.
Beyond my counseling background, I have also honed my entrepreneurial skills as the Owner/Operator of Semper Fi Furniture. This venture has allowed me to blend business expertise with a deep commitment to social causes, particularly in supporting veteran suicide prevention and mental health awareness. My earlier service as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps instilled in me a strong foundation of leadership, resilience, and crisis management—qualities that have carried over into every aspect of my professional and personal life. I am honored to have received commendations such as the Naval Achievement Medal and a Presidential Citation, reflecting my dedication to service and excellence.
By combining military discipline, business leadership, and mental health expertise, I strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. Whether through direct clinical work, advocacy, or entrepreneurial initiatives, my goal remains the same: to empower individuals, foster resilience, and create lasting positive change in the community.
