History
For the past 20 years, I have worked as a mental health counselor with clients from a variety of ethnic and spiritual backgrounds. My life as a psychotherapist has taken me from the depths of the Bernalillo County Detention Center to working with the Native American tribes of New Mexico and Oregon to private practice. I have received great inspiration from my travels abroad as well as my entry into fatherhood, and I am currently certified in Terry Real's RLT model for couples/relationship counseling.
