Hi, I'm Tony! 

My passion is helping people discover their potential. Growing up in difficult financial circumstances and moving from family to family, I know firsthand the power of support. These interactions gave birth to a passion for helping others, eventually leading me to
become the first person in my biological and adoptive families to pursue higher education.


For the past decade, I have worked with children, teens, and young adults in hospital settings, treatment centers, and the Juvenile Justice system. I hold a Master’s degree from Walden University and utilize an adaptable approach that includes CBT, DBT,
Trauma-Informed practices, Mindfulness, and Play Therapy. I strive to empower my clients to do the work that is difficult, helping them define a happier, healthier future.

When I'm Not Working 

Unlike Waldo, I am quite easy to find in a crowd—I stand at 6’7" I enjoy living life to the fullest, whether that means traveling to tropical destinations or cracking a good "dad
joke." I have a big heart and a big personality to match. Outside of therapy, you can find me adding to my collection of sunglasses, watches, shoes, and coins from all over the world.
