Let’s be honest, life can be hard at times. When you're overwhelmed, asking for help can feel difficult. If you're here looking for support, you’ve taken an important step toward tackling the weight you’re carrying. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences might be influencing your current challenges. Utilizing the principles of psychodynamic therapy and EMDR, we will identify your core values and goals, helping you find the energy to pursue them—especially when you're feeling grief, depression, or anxiety. We can work on building new perspectives, insights, and finally put the puzzle pieces together of life.
So who is this guy? I'm a Latinx, queer, male therapist with several years of experience. I’m deeply passionate about working with adults from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ communities. If you're looking for a bit of wit, to be pushed, and to have space to be heard more than you have before, then you're in the right place.
No issue is too big or too small to talk about. You wanna talk about that one experience in elementary school that left a mark? Then let’s dive in. You wanna talk about an amazing meal you had this week? Yum! I’m a foodie too. Or the issues within your family and relationships. We all have a story to share and yours is just as important.

My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be.
