Palmdale, CA 93550
I believe that the power of vulnerability is one of our greatest strengths and ultimately can provide us with a deeper sense of self, security, comfort, and more compassionate towards one another. Coming from a strength-based form of doing therapy and providing support to others, I work to provide my clients with a sense of validation and comfort. As a cis male that identifies as Latinx and as a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, I am able to hold the experience of living in many diverse, cross-cultural emotional experiences that we sometimes may not even know how to begin to understand.

I provide "client centered" therapy which means facilitating your self-actualization (your innate ability toward growth and fulfillment), through acceptance (unconditional positive regard), genuineness, empathic understanding. I then build on that foundation by helping you gain insight, learn techniques, and examine your thoughts and beliefs.

I've completed Level 2 Gottman Method Couples Therapy training, as well as extensive Family Systems and ACT training.
I specialize in helping people improve their mental health by improving their most important relationships. I believe that these two things are fundamentally connected, and that challenges like anxiety and depression often have their root in how we relate (or don’t relate) with other people in love, friendship, family, and professional life. So if you find yourself stuck in one of these areas and find yourself needing new tools, I might be able to help.

Long Beach, CA 90807
Through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) we explore not only the thoughts and beliefs that we may have but also the strength our inner world and empower ourselves to thrive.
I am here to help those that are looking to explore new ways of working with others or coming into their own and setting boundaries with others. Part of growing is learning how to adapt to the world around us, but it is also about growing in truly loving ourselves and building the world within us. Keeping secrets, feeling like you don't have a voice, and feeling without the power to stand up against those that are mistreating oneself come from feeling like you are not valued or because we were taught growing up to stay silent.

I believe the work incorporates my core value of faith which brings a holistic approach to mental health working with four major approaches -family systems by Bowen, psychodynamics of early childhood, Neuroplasticity, and finally, our spiritual nature.
Relationships can be very wonderful, at times difficult, but are crucial to our health and overall well-being. How we think about those relationships impacts our mood and our day-to-day functioning. How you think about a situation can affect your behavior. Lewis Howes is right "Your thoughts shape your reality...". As a licensed therapist, I’ve discovered techniques to help identify and change unhealthy thought patterns and improve relationships. I have experience and training working with couples dealing with relational issues ranging from infidelity, divorce, trust, and betrayal.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
