A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and trained through Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation, he applies evidence-based methods to high-stakes communication and conflict resolution.

I believe every person deserves the opportunity to strengthen well-being, build resilience, achieve lasting success, and cultivate genuine happiness. In high-pressure environments, peak performance depends on steadiness, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. The ability to recognize stress in oneself and in others is critical for sound judgment, effective collaboration, and sustained relationships. My work centers on helping individuals advance their communication, emotional regulation, and leadership skills to directly enhance performance. With a background spanning business, coaching, and professional counseling, I deliver evidence-based strategies that foster both personal growth and professional impact.

My background in real-world leadership and advanced clinical practice allows me to work effectively with individuals requiring clinical care as well as professionals operating under pressure. My approach is direct, grounded, and designed to strengthen function across both personal and professional domains.
Overcoming significant early life challenges, including trauma, bullying, survivor of sexual assault, dropping out of high school, and a period of homelessness, ignited my drive to understand the complexities of human behavior and mental health. With unyielding determination, I pursued higher education, earning an associate degree in EMT Paramedics, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree, completing an MBA, a Master’s in Psychological Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Doctorate from the University of Miami.
As a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma-informed care, I provide a research-based, personalized approach that helps individuals heal, rediscover their passions, and thrive. As a business professional, I contributed to building a successful real estate development and management company, demonstrating how resilience and discipline transform adversity into meaningful growth.
My martial arts journey reflects the same principles. After twelve years of dedicated training, I earned a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Relson Gracie and later a Black Belt in Judo. These achievements symbolize discipline, patience, and perseverance; qualities that guide my approach to counseling, coaching, and consulting.
I have dedicated my work to advancing effective communication in both personal and professional settings. Clear, empathetic communication and consistent boundary setting are essential for strong relationships and conflict resolution. By integrating experience across business, education, psychology, and martial arts, I help individuals and organizations strengthen communication, build resilience, and create lasting impact.
