Personal Info: With an associate and bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, I am now enriching my education through a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University, where I am also gaining practical experience through an internship. My academic involvement extends to active membership in the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Association and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, with a keen focus on Medical Family Therapy, a field I am deeply passionate about. My diverse background includes serving as a law enforcement officer, where I undertook various roles from patrol to undercover narcotics operations and command. I've earned two Advanced Law Enforcement Certificates, and I was a Certified Instructor in multiple disciplines including BLET, firearms, and defensive tactics. My military service as an Army infantry soldier has left me with an 80% disability rating. Additionally, I have experience as a rural postal worker, taking on roles such as shop steward and 204b. These varied experiences have granted me a unique insight into life's challenges and the complexities of human interaction. Each person is the architect of their own life story, shaped by their experiences, beliefs, and history. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to understand your life's narrative and its subtleties. I am confident that together, we can navigate the challenges and questions that bring you to therapy. My systemic training allows me to consider your story within the context of the broader network of relationships and interactions that define our lives. I believe in the transformative power of collaborative discovery, where we can find solutions to life's puzzles through our shared journey of understanding.
