One of my personal purposes is continuing to serve and support my veteran comrades by working alongside and empowering them, so that they can evolve, navigate, and manage whatever difficulties they are experiencing. I value family and recognize the struggles that family members and spouses can endure in their roles with their veteran or military member both in/out of service. 

​

Like the many people I see, I too am a veteran. I served in the United States Air Force, stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was a Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Specialist. We provided operational support information for Force Support Squadrons that provided mission sustaining combat support and community services to Airmen and their families.

​

I have 19 years working in a variety of community mental health settings including having had my own Outpatient Clinic serving veterans, first responders and their families, to having worked in  intensive outpatient programs, recidivism programs and child welfare. I am bi-cultural and fluent in Spanish. I work with a variety of veteran specific issues such as understanding the complexities veterans experience, including transition back into civilian life, navigating the VA system. I treat a variety of trauma types including Combat, MST, Moral Injury, and other military related issues. In addition, treat mood disorders, depression, family issues, anger management, and anxiety.
