ABOUT

Welcome – Freedom for You Begins Today

I have lived in California my entire life. I was raised in Huntington Beach. I attended California State University, Long Beach, where I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. My career has been dedicated to helping people navigate the healthcare system. I began in behavioral health, working in hospitals and private partial-recovery programs throughout Southern California. I transitioned into private practice, where I continue to serve the community today.

I am married and have two grown daughters. Health and fitness have always been a priority in my life.  I spent nearly 20 years as a martial arts instructor. I value discipline and strive to maintain a very active and healthy lifestyle.  I am most at peace when I can spend time at the beach with my wife, we are very fortunate to live minutes away from San Clemente and Laguna Beach.

I work with individuals from many walks of life and consider it a privilege to help them navigate toward a more fulfilling and healthier way of living. As a seasoned therapist, I get great satisfaction seeing clients grow stronger emotionally and gain confidence in themselves, they will often share that the work we are doing is making a difference.

I believe that anything that is worthwhile in life will have some type of sacrifice attached to it whether it is time, money or something else.  It is my hope that you invest in yourself, which can bring lasting change and contentment.

I am a Christian and can provide Christian counseling if requested. However, I work with individuals of any background or faith.
