Things happen to us everyday which impact and change who we are and how we though the world. My twenty-five plus years of working in this field with individual's of diverse ages, cultures and back grounds have proven this to be true. I believe my role as a therapist is to support others in identifying "their" purpose while growing their mental, emotional and physical health. The passion for supporting others in the process of gaining insight and identifying positive changes toward their future is "my" purpose.

Have you found therapy unhelpful in the past? If you are looking for a change and a new approach, we can help.

Throughout our clinical experience at Better Lives Building Tribes (BLBT), we have learned that people are learning the most about themselves through their interactions with other people. But interactions with other people are complicated and people often need help navigating conflict, conflict resolution, and setting boundaries amidst already struggling self-esteem and self-worth. How we feel about ourselves has everything to do with our ability to defend ourselves, verbalize our own needs, and come up with creative solutions to our interpersonal hurdles. If you find yourself having difficulties with others, we are here to help.

I am a Tucson native and have received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University. While I was pursuing my master’s degree I have worked with children through adults as well as families that are struggling and in need of support.

For 15 years, I have successfully worked with people to gain insight and create positive patterns of behavior to repair broken relationships, heal from past abuse/trauma, overcome addiction of all kinds, break free from anxiety and depression, and achieve greater life satisfaction. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment for clients to feel understood and accepted. I often use stories from my life experiences as a youth pastor, Jr. High teacher, and married father of three. The most common positive comment I receive from clients is that they always leave having learned something new.

My aim as a psychotherapist and counselor is to provide a secure and healthy environment where individuals can address life's obstacles that hinder their progress. It is common to face difficulties that we cannot overcome alone, which is why I believe that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is vital for personal growth and positive change. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can identify their values, enhance their present-moment awareness, and manage distressing thoughts and emotions more effectively.

I enjoy helping people gain perspective on their fears that cause anxiety, depression, and relationship issues so that they can learn to overcome their stressors and live their best life.
