About Us

In the Army, we rely on our Battle Buddy, someone who stands beside us through the hardest moments, in and out of combat. That same spirit drives everything I do today. I want to be your Healing Buddy, a steady, compassionate presence to walk alongside you on your healing journey within our healing community.

I understand this journey deeply, because I have lived it myself.

As a Combat Medic (91W) in the U.S. Army and a veteran of the Iraq War, I personally navigated complex trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I also carry the experiences of surviving toxic relationships and sexual assault. My father and two uncles served as Vietnam Veterans and struggled with PTSD for years, and I witnessed firsthand how profoundly untreated trauma can unravel every dimension of a person's life: their relationships, their sense of self, and their place in the world.

But I also know, with equal conviction, how life-changing it is to finally face and heal that trauma. Healing is not just possible; it is transformative.

My purpose is simple and unwavering: to help as many people as possible reclaim their lives through compassionate support, meaningful education, and personalized one-on-one coaching that emphasizes PTSD education.

I bring to this work a clinical foundation built at the Mayo Clinic and the Phoenix VA, where I practiced as a critical care nurse and case manager. I hold a BSN from Grand Canyon University. I'm a Certified Holistic Life and Stress Management Coach, a Certified Integrative Medicine and Nutrition Provider specializing in PTSD, Complex Trauma, and TBI, and a trained Shamanic Healing Practitioner.

You don't have to heal alone. I've walked this road. And I'll walk it with you, offering the trauma support you need.

As a former Big 4 Management Consultant, I helped multi-billion dollar companies solve complex problems. The work was prestigious and the salary reflected it, but at the end of the day, I was helping make rich companies richer.

I wanted to do something that truly mattered to me. So, I left my six-figure corporate job to co-found Healing Buddy with my wife Alysea, aiming to foster a healing community that helps real people solve real problems.

This work is also deeply personal to me. As a first-generation American raised primarily by a single mother, I've faced my own struggles with generational and complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. Through my journey and with the right tools and support, including PTSD education, I found my way through, and so can you.

Now, I want to ensure that anyone who is ready to heal has the tools and trauma support necessary for their journey.

I hold a Bachelor’s in English-Linguistics from ASU, a Masters from Vanderbilt University in Leadership and Organizational Performance, I'm certified in Integrative Medicine and Nutrition for PTSD, Complex Trauma, and TBI, I'm a 5th Degree Black Belt in Okinawan Shobayashi-ryu, and I am certified at the Okuden level in Jikiden Reiki.

If you are ready to put in the work, I am ready to be your lighthouse in the storm.
