Therapy works best when it is a collaborative, grounded partnership. As a counselor with WellConnect Counseling, supervised by Dr. Deborah Ontiveros, my goal is to walk alongside you, help you navigate life’s heaviest challenges, and work together to build practical avenues for long-term success.

I bring a grounded, highly structured, and unwavering commitment to client transformation. Practicing under supervision at WellConnect Counseling, my clinical focus centers on supporting first responders and their families—populations that thrive on authenticity, accountability, and practical execution.

We’ll start by reviewing initial paperwork, administrative details, and confidentiality boundaries so you have full clarity on your rights and privacy from day one. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, the primary challenges you are navigating right now, and what you hope to achieve through our work together.

A significant focus of the practice is serving first responders and their families. Whether you are a first responder needing a space where you don't have to explain the job, or an individual from any walk of life looking to regain control, you can expect an authentic environment tailored to growth.
