Before you begin: I am a “Resident in Counseling” in Virginia under Supervision with Ms. Barbara Darby, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). In January 2020 I became Licensed as a Resident in Counseling in Virginia. I have been a Licensed Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) (since 2005 in Virginia). In 1981 – I joined the United States Marine Corps and served 21 active years in various locations around the world – for the last 6 years of my career as a United States Marine I served as an active duty Marine Substance Abuse Counselor. I pursued and completed the required education, practicuum, internship while acquiring experience applying the knowledge gained … to this day I provide counseling services. I work with the Latino Community and all those that seek my professional experience, education and care.

A safe place to explore and gain the tools to soar.

Approved to provide counseling services to those referred by the Commonwealth of Virginia – Commission on the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP)

If you have any further questions, are curious or would like to explore more about my experience, education, and professional standing feel free to utilize the “lookup license” for the Virginia Board of Counseling and/or ask me or my Supervisor. I have a list of references if you would like to call any of these. Thank you. I hope this provides sufficient information. I look forward to meeting you so that we can work together.”
