I grew up in Selma and graduated from Selma High School. I’m married to an amazing woman named Lana, and we have three adult children.
Much of my work experience has been in law enforcement, working for Selma Police Department and later with the Fresno Police Department. An injury changed the trajectory of my career, allowing me to pursue my education.
I completed a four-year degree in Bible and Theology from California Christian College and later graduated from Multnomah University (Portland Oregon) with a Master of Divinity. I’m currently working towards a Doctorate in Psychology through California Southern University.
My life experiences have taught me that early childhood trauma is often the catalyst for negative thinking patterns and behaviors. Unfortunately, many traumas that occur go unidentified and subsequently untreated. My passion is reimagining systems so that childhood trauma is identified and treated in a timely way.
I was blessed to be a part of launching the Resiliency Center, a mental health facility that focuses on primary prevention and early intervention for children. Working in law enforcement and being a parent have taught me that we cannot prevent bad things from happening to children, but we can ensure we ingrain resiliency for those challenging moments of life.
While working towards completion of my psychology degree I enjoy offering biblical counseling.

I was born and raised in Fresno and graduated from Fresno Pacific University, with a BS is Business and a minor in Addictive Disorders. In 2005 I left the insurance industry to start working as a youth drug and alcohol counselor for school districts in the Central Valley.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, having received both my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from National University. I am a native of San Jose but planted roots in Fresno 25 years ago and have made this my home. During this time, I have gained experience as a social worker or therapist in both county and nonprofit agencies, in schools, and in private practice. In these contexts, I have worked with families, couples, and individuals of all ages and with a variety of needs. I have additional training in DBT, EMDR, and Imago Relationship Therapy.
It is my goal to care and support my clients, believing that we are all doing the best we can. I hope to help clients discover new skills and become more effective in living a joyful life. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment that promotes healing from past hurts, nurtures secure connections, and growth in new directions.

I received a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary. My past work consists of working with children on the Autism Spectrum as a Registered Behavioral Technician and as a Substitute Teacher for local school districts. During my time in these settings, I observed children struggling in their academics, behavior, and relationships with peers and family members. My work history and my passion for seeing individuals strive towards resilience led me to the Resiliency Center. I believe in meeting people where they are and creating a safe environment for all to process their feelings and experiences. Ultimately, I hope every encounter can lead people towards healing and well-being.
