Hi, I’m Jimmy

I am a graduate student pursuing a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in First Responder Mental Health at Bradley University. With over 20 years of experience as a Firefighter, I bring a unique perspective that combines frontline emergency service with clinical training in trauma-informed care and resilience optimization. My clinical focus areas include first responder mental health, trauma recovery, resilience building and stress management. While I have specialized training working with first responders, I am passionate about helping all adults navigate life transitions, overcome obstacles, and work toward their mental health goals.

My mission is to provide evidence-based, person-centered counseling that meets clients exactly where they are in their journey. I draw from multiple theoretical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and trauma informed modalities, tailoring interventions to each clients unique needs and circumstances. My approach emphasizes collaboration, helping clients create actionable pathways toward improved mental health and personal growth.
