LMFT #148461 Exp 7/31/2028

Looking back on my journey, I spent thirty years searching for lasting happiness through my careers in engineering, the military, and medicine, as well as through my relationships. Unexpectedly, this pursuit often led to brief moments of joy overshadowed by worry, anxiety, and depression. Trying to be someone I was not felt like trudging through life in molasses — incredibly difficult and ultimately futile.

However, over the past decade, I have experienced a profound increase in positive emotions such as clarity, gratitude, and peace. This shift resulted from making mental, emotional, and behavioral changes to align more closely with my true natural self. Since beginning my practice in 2020, I have refined my attunement and intuition and gained insights to assist teens, adults, older adults, and families from all races, genders, and backgrounds. Through our work together, I have witnessed people overcome fear, conflict, and pain, moving toward a greater sense of connection, enthusiasm, and self-worth.

I deeply appreciate your recognition of the need to break free from negative cycles and your courage to seek change and support. Whether for your teens, your family, or yourself, I am honored to be part of your journey. Together, we will overcome the unique challenges in your transformative path from darkness to light and from limitations to freedom.
